BCCI AGM 2026: Ajit Agarkar's Future To Be Decided Within 15 Days, Says Secretary

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) held its 95th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai, addressing the future of chief selector Ajit Agarkar. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that a decision on Agarkar's position would be made within 15 days, noting that there was no discussion during the AGM. The 15-day time frame is significant in the cricket world, as it relates to the rapid pace of T20 matches.

The AGM focused on routine matters and developments within Indian cricket. Additionally, BCCI began preparations for its centenary celebrations in December 2028, with the board aiming to conduct a grand event starting from December 2027. The junior selection committee process was underway, with a large number of applications received and short-listing in progress.

The BCCI is also planning grand celebrations for the 20th edition of the Indian Premier League in 2028 and reviewing the Impact Player rule. The appointment of the Indian team's fielding coach is currently on a short-term basis, pending a performance assessment. The BCCI has updated its age fraud policies with new standard operating procedures for all affiliated state units.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands affiliation issue remains pending, as a fresh legal challenge was filed before the Bombay High Court.
