The selectors are listed as
Andy Muir
Dougie Bryson
Colin McNab
It is not 100% clear from the website but I think, Andy Burnett heads the committee.
It seems to me that is a reasonable committee. I have faith in Andy Burnett. I assume that Dougie has ruled himself out of selection, so he seems an excellent person to have a grasp of the Maths/statistical aspects of selection. Colin is a very strong player who I assume is an automatic choice, he can assess form and ability and the like. I am not sure I would have Andy Muir on the committee simply because he is often going to be on the edge of the team, so is going to have to recuse himself on the tricky decisions.
