'Fifteen days is a long time': BCCI plays wait-and-watch on Ajit Agarkar's future
Agarkar was appointed chairman of the men's senior selection committee in July 2023, and his contract is scheduled to end next month.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia refrained from providing definitive answers on Ajit Agarkar's future during the Annual General Meeting, emphasizing that 15 days is a long time in cricket. The decision on Agarkar's position will be made at the appropriate time, according to Saikia. The BCCI has initiated the process of appointing a new five-member junior selection committee, with the task expected to be completed within 10-15 days.
The BCCI is not averse to adhering to the National Sports Governance Act, provided the government completes certain processes. The committee plans to introduce a system of promotion and relegation for domestic cricket umpires, with merit-based assessments determining changes in their positions. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to commence the IPL-2027 from the last week of March, with a grand celebration planned to mark the cricket board's 100th anniversary in 2028.
