Agarkar Gets Fresh Term as Chief Selector Till 2027
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has renewed the contract of chief selector Ajit Agarkar for another year, ensuring continuity ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Agarkar, who took charge in 2023, will now continue till mid-2027. The decision reflects the board鈥檚 confidence in his leadership, especially after India鈥檚 strong run in ICC events, including multiple finals and major title wins during his tenure.
Interestingly, the former India pacer did not seek an extension himself, with the BCCI opting to renew his contract based on performance and existing tenure rules rather than offering a fresh extension.
The move also underlines the board鈥檚 focus on stability, with Agarkar鈥檚 panel credited for bold selection calls and managing a smooth transition between senior and emerging players in recent years.
With the next 50-over World Cup on the horizon, Agarkar is expected to play a crucial role in shaping India鈥檚 squad for the marquee tournament.
