BCCI to Discuss Ajit Agarkar's Tenure Extension After Sri Lanka Series Amid Rohit Sharma Debate
The BCCI plans to meet with chief selector Ajit Agarkar after India's two-Test series against Sri Lanka to discuss a possible one-year extension of his tenure, which ends after three years in September. This decision is influenced by differing views on Rohit Sharma's ODI future, with selectors reportedly considering replacing him post-England series, while BCCI officials support his continued inclusion. Sharma recently scored a century in the third ODI against England, complicating the selectors' plans ahead of the 2027 World Cup preparations.
