Pragyan Ojha Named Interim BCCI Chief Selector After Ajit Agarkar's Exit
Following Ajit Agarkar's departure as BCCI chief selector, former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has been appointed interim head of the four-member selection committee and is considered a leading candidate for the full-time role. Ojha and fellow selectors recently met with head coach Gautam Gambhir in Guwahati to discuss squad selections for India's upcoming New Zealand tour, which includes T20I, ODI, and Test series, as well as India A matches. The BCCI has yet to finalize a permanent chief selector.
