Ajit Agarkar to Step Down as BCCI Men's Selection Chairman After October 4
Ajit Agarkar has decided not to seek an extension as chairman of the Indian men's cricket selection committee, with his tenure ending on October 4. The BCCI secretary, Devajit Saikia, stated the board will decide on a successor after Agarkar's contract expires and will announce the decision publicly. Agarkar's tenure included India's recent T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy wins. Saikia also expressed hope that the men's team will emulate the women's cricket team's recent Asian Games gold medal success.
