Overview
- The Board’s 95th AGM on Friday authorised BCCI office‑bearers to decide the future of the senior men’s selection committee rather than leaving the decision to the full general body.
- Multiple reports say Ajit Agarkar has told the board he does not wish to continue when his contract expires around October 4, making a replacement likely unless an extension is granted.
- If Agarkar is not extended the BCCI must publicly advertise the chief‑selector post and hold interviews, a formal process that will take time and prevent an immediate appointment.
- News outlets have identified Parthiv Patel and current selector Pragyan Ojha as leading candidates to succeed Agarkar, though no official shortlist or interviews have been announced.
- Operationally the timing matters: Agarkar chaired a selection meeting on September 16 and the board is still finalising junior‑selector appointments while India prepares for home white‑ball fixtures and a New Zealand tour.
