Ajit Agarkar to Step Down as India Chief Selector Amid Rohit Sharma Dispute

His departure follows reported differences with BCCI officials, notably over Rohit Sharma's future and disagreements with VVS Laxman. Agarkar was praised for transparency and tough decisions but faced challenges as the board publicly backed Rohit, limiting his influence. His tenure also saw significant player career shifts and team successes.
