Ajit Agarkar was appointed as chief selector for a two-year term on July 4, 2023. Several senior players have stepped away from formats, including veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, who retired from all international cricket, while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have ended their Test and T20I careers.
“Agarkar should continue as chief selector. He is likely to get an extension for sure, but the board will follow the due process to make that happen,” a BCCI source told CricBlogger.
BCCI Hopes Momentum Under Ajit Agarkar Continues With T20 World Cup 2026 as Target
Most deserving players have been given opportunities during Ajit Agarkar's tenure. As India moves into a new era without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Tests, the BCCI has chosen to retain Agarkar for at least another year to ensure continuity during this transitional phase.
Karun Nair was recalled after eight years, and Yashasvi Jaiswal also made his debut soon after Agarkar took charge. His committee’s timely investment in new talent has been appreciated, and the BCCI hopes this momentum continues with the T20 World Cup 2026 as their target.
