BCCI to Review Ajit Agarkar's Tenure Amid Rohit Sharma ODI Future Debate
The BCCI is set to meet with chief selector Ajit Agarkar after India's Test series against Sri Lanka to discuss a possible one-year extension of his tenure, which ends in September. This review follows reported differences between the selection committee and BCCI leadership over Rohit Sharma's ODI future. While selectors had indicated plans to replace Sharma post-England series to promote younger players, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia publicly supported Sharma's continued inclusion. Sharma reinforced his position with a century in the final England ODI and is expected to feature in the upcoming West Indies series. Meanwhile, Agarkar's future remains uncertain amid these developments, with former player Zaheer Khan mentioned as a potential successor.
