Gautam Gambhir: The Board of Control for Cricket in India is making a lot of changes in the team management. First of all, it is bringing in a new head coach. It is worth noting that the current head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid, is going to leave after the T20 World Cup. Gautam Gambhir's name is leading for this post.

The Cricket Advisory Committee interviewed the former Indian opener yesterday. Apart from this, there is a possibility of a big change in the selection committee as well. Under this, chief selector Ajit Agarkar will be removed and a friend of Gambhir is going to be appointed to this post.

Let us know the whole thing in detail.

Ajit Agarkar will be discharged from Team India

Ajit Agarkar

Ajit Agarkar was made the chief selector of the Indian team before the West Indies tour last year.

He was appointed to this post after Chetan Sharma resigned. Since then, Agarkar's work has been commendable. During the ODI World Cup 2023, the team selected by him reached the final.

However, now his services in Team India are about to end. In fact, at present, apart from Agarkar, Salil Ankola is also present in the selection committee. Both of them are from the West Zone. In that sense, to maintain regional balance, BCCI can sack either of them. In such a situation, Ajit Agarkar's position is in danger.

Gautam Gambhir's friend will become the selector

A big change will soon be seen in the selection committee of Team India.

Salil Ankola, who was made the selector of the national team in January 2023, is going to be removed from this post. There are many veterans in the race to replace him. The first name is of former Ranji cricketer and Gautam Gambhir's friend Mithun Manhas. Both of them have played domestic cricket together for Delhi. Apart from them, the names of Nikhil Chopra and junior selector Krishna Mohan are also being considered.

BCCI is going to announce soon

There are reports on social media that BCCI will announce the next head coach within two-three days.

It is being speculated that Gautam Gambhir will be given this big responsibility.
