Pragyan Ojha to Lead Interim BCCI Selection Meeting for New Zealand Tour Squads
Following Ajit Agarkar's departure as BCCI senior men's selection committee chairman on October 4, former India spinner Pragyan Ojha is set to lead the interim selection meeting. The committee, currently with four members, will finalize full-strength Indian squads for the upcoming New Zealand tour starting October 22, which includes five T20Is, five ODIs, and two Tests. The ODI series is seen as key preparation for the 2027 World Cup, with captain Shubman Gill expecting top players to be available.
