A Team India selection meeting took place in Guwahati with Agarkar notably absent, after his contract expired on October 4, according to a report by Cricbuzz . Ajit Agarkar ‘s tenure as the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) chairman of selectors appears to be over. The report further states that former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha , who was already a member of the selection panel, was asked by the BCCI to take charge of proceedings for the time being. Ojha has also emerged as an option to permanently become the chairman of the selection committee.
With Ajit Agarkar’s tenure as BCCI’s chief selector over, a former India player within the committee has emerged as a potential candidate to take over.
Whoever is ultimately chosen as the chief selector will likely face the big responsibility of picking India’s 2027 World Cup squad next year.
But Ojha looks an acceptable candidate for everyone,” said a source, as per the report. “You never know anything might happen in the BCCI. This would include answering questions regarding Rohit Sharma’s future and solving dilemmas over which all-rounders and fast bowlers to pick in the side.
