BCCI invites applications for selector's position after Ajit Agarkar's tenure ends

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited applications for one position on its Men's Selection Committee, formally beginning the process to find Ajit Agarkar's replacement after his tenure as chairman of selectors came to an end.

The BCCI issued the advertisement on Tuesday, two days after Agarkar's tenure ended on October 4. Agarkar, who took over as chairman of the senior men's selection



committee in July 2023, did not seek an extension, according to reports.

The BCCI itself has not issued a separate statement on Agarkar's departure, but the board has now advertised one position on the five-member selection committee.

Former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha is currently serving as the interim head of the committee. The other members are Shiv Sunder Das, RP Singh and Ajay Ratra.
