The incumbent chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar, has remained in the spotlight as his contract is set to end on October 4, and the BCCI could be looking to find a replacement.
“The office-bearers have been authorised to take decisions on matters concerning the selection committees,” a senior BCCI official gave an open-ended answer at the end of the meeting. The member units of the BCCI entrusted the office-bearers to take a call on whether to give chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar an extension or find his replacement during the Annual General Meeting.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Cricket Association requested the Indian cricket board to consider it while allotting prominent matches, said the state body’s secretary, Unmesh Khanvilkar. Nothing at all has been discussed at the AGM,” Tiwary said. The 95th AGM of the BCCI was attended by its affiliated state member boards and also featured former India captain Sourav Ganguly (Cricket Association of Bengal) and former pacer Venkatesh Prasad (Karnataka State Cricket Association). Additionally, the Jharkhand State Cricket Association secretary and former India cricketer Saurabh Tiwary denied having any knowledge of the India-Australia Test being moved away from Ranchi. “This is news to me. If someone has to write to the BCCI (on this), that has to be me. I haven’t written anything.
