BCCI Considers Replacing Ajit Agarkar as Chief Selector Amid Rohit Sharma ODI Future Debate
Ajit Agarkar's tenure as BCCI chief selector faces uncertainty following controversy over Rohit Sharma's ODI future. Reports indicate the selection committee considered phasing Rohit out ahead of the 2027 World Cup, leading to internal disagreements after Rohit's century at Lord's challenged those plans. BCCI officials are reportedly contemplating replacing Agarkar with VVS Laxman, head of the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The final decision is expected at the BCCI Annual General Meeting in September, with Agarkar's future also linked to upcoming team performances.
