The future of Ajit Agarkar as the chairman of the BCCI's senior men's selection committee remains undecided, with a senior board official confirming that the former cricketer has not sought an extension of his contract. Agarkar's current tenure is set to expire later this year.
Recent media speculation suggested that Agarkar, following India's victory in the T20 World Cup 2026 earlier this month, had approached the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to request his term be extended until the 2027 ODI World Cup. However, a senior BCCI official has categorically denied these rumors to the press.
The official stated that no such request has been made by Agarkar and that the board will review his position and make a decision in due course, once his existing contract concludes. The process for appointing selectors typically involves an application and interview process as per BCCI norms.
Agarkar, a former India fast bowler, was appointed as the chairman of the selection committee in 2023. His tenure has seen India achieve significant success, including the recent T20 World Cup win in the Caribbean and the United States.
