Indian cricket is going through a major change these days. Veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin have retired from Test cricket, while Ravindra Jadeja has also said goodbye to T20 cricket. Now the Test team led by young Shubman Gill is moving towards a new era. In such a situation, the role of selection committee and team management has become more important than ever. Meanwhile, a big update has come out which is associated with the job of Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar.

BCCI preparing to extend the tenure of Ajit Agarkar

According to the report by Cricblogger, BCCI sources say Ajit Agarkar can be retained as Chief Selector. However, the board will follow a fixed process for this and the final decision will be taken only then. Let us know that Agarkar was appointed as the chief selector in July 2023 and India has achieved many big achievements during his tenure.

Agarkar’s important role was also in the farewell of the captains?

It is believed that Ajit Agarkar’s strategy has also been a reason behind the Test retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. According to reports, he has also expressed disagreement with team management many times and his opinion has had a significant impact in strategic decisions. Although there is no official confirmation of these things, Ajit Agarkar’s stance has always been clear and decisive about the team.

India created many records during Agarkar’s tenure

The selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has done well. India won the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. Also, the journey up to the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup was also set. These successes have further strengthened the role of Agarkar, which increases the possibility that BCCI can carry forward their tenure.

Meanwhile, the Indian team is going to play a Test series against England from 20 June. The first match will be played in Handingley. At the same time, the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir returned to India due to his mother’s health, but now Gambhir is going to join the team again after improving his health.
