BCCI Office-Bearers Authorized to Decide Ajit Agarkar's Future as Chief Selector

BCCI Office-Bearers Authorized to Decide Ajit Agarkar's Future as Chief SelectorPreviousNext

The BCCI's 95th Annual General Meeting authorised its office-bearers to decide on the future of Ajit Agarkar as chairman of the senior men's selection committee, whose contract expires next month. No final decision has been made on extending his tenure or appointing a replacement, a process that would involve public advertisement and interviews. The board also plans to fill five junior selection committee positions. The Mumbai Cricket Association requested more prominent matches at its venues. Former players Sourav Ganguly and Venkatesh Prasad attended the meeting.
