The BCCI has made a major decision regarding chief selector Ajit Agarkar after he announced Team India’s squad for the Asia Cup 2025. His contract has been extended until June 2026. The decision was taken earlier, but it came to light on August 21.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the officials were impressed with the way he handled the transitional phase. Since joining the selection panel in 2023, he has been involved in successes and changes. India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the Champions Trophy in 2025.
The selectors appointed Shubman Gill as a new Test captain, and the team managed to draw the series 2-2. Despite the retirement of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin from the longest format, India were impressive in five Tests against the Ben Stokes-led team.
SS Das, Subroto Banerjee, Ajay Ratra, and S Sharath are on the current selection committee. However, a change is expected during the BCCI’s annual general body meeting scheduled for September. According to the report, Sharath has completed four years in selection roles. It is the maximum period permitted under BCCI rules and regulations.
The board will soon invite fresh applications. BCCI is satisfied with the performance of the other panel members.
