Ajit Agarkar Attends Duleep Trophy Final After Missing BCCI Review Meeting
Ajit Agarkar, chairman of the senior men's selection committee, attended the Duleep Trophy final in Chennai three days after missing a key BCCI review meeting in Mumbai. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia explained Agarkar was out of town and unable to join the meeting virtually, which focused on recent team performances and upcoming series. Speculation about Agarkar's future and contract extension persists, though Saikia confirmed no discussion on his contract occurred during the meeting. The Duleep Trophy serves as a platform to assess players for upcoming India A Test matches.
