Ajit Agarkar Absent from BCCI Review Meeting Amid Contract Uncertainty
Ajit Agarkar, chairman of the BCCI men's selection committee, missed a key review meeting in Mumbai on September 3 due to being out of station and unable to join online. His contract expires this month, but BCCI officials, including Secretary Devajit Saikia, stated there were no discussions about his extension during the meeting. The session focused on India's recent performances and preparations for upcoming tours and the 2027 ODI World Cup. Speculation about Agarkar's future persists amid a lack of formal communication on contract renewal.
