Overview

  • Ajit Agarkar’s tenure as chief selector has been extended until June 2026, a decision agreed months before IPL 2025, according to a BCCI official.
  • The BCCI issued an official call for applications to fill two vacancies on the Senior Men’s Selection Committee, outlining experience and retirement criteria.
  • South Zone selector S Sharath will make way after completing a four‑year term, with the second outgoing member expected from among SS Das or Subroto Banerjee, per reports.
  • The board also opened positions on the Senior Women’s (four roles) and Junior Men’s (one role) selection committees as several members reach maximum tenure.
  • Agarkar’s extension is credited to India’s recent run—2024 T20 World Cup win, 2025 Champions Trophy triumph, and the 2023 ODI World Cup final—with the reshuffle following this week’s Asia Cup squad announcement.
