The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has renewed the contract of Ajit Agarkar as the chairman of the senior men's selection committee. The decision was confirmed by the BCCI on April 19, 2026, following a meeting of the board's top officials.
Agarkar, the former Indian fast bowler, was initially appointed to the role in July 2023. His tenure has overseen significant periods for the Indian team, including the 2023 Cricket World Cup final appearance and the 2024 T20 World Cup victory.
The renewal comes ahead of a busy international schedule for the Indian team. The specific duration and financial terms of the new contract have not been publicly disclosed by the board.
Under Agarkar's chairmanship, the selection committee has been tasked with building squads for upcoming major tournaments, including the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the 2026 T20 World Cup.
