Gautam Gambhir and BCCI Pay Tribute to Outgoing Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar
India head coach Gautam Gambhir paid tribute to outgoing BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar, praising his conviction and team-first approach during a tenure marked by significant success. Agarkar, who served from July 2023 to October 2026, oversaw India winning three ICC trophies—the 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups and the 2025 Champions Trophy—along with two Asia Cup titles and back-to-back Asian Games gold medals. The BCCI thanked Agarkar for his contributions as it invited applications to fill the vacant selection committee position, with Pragyan Ojha currently serving as interim chairman.
