The BCCI senior men’s selection committee will soon undergo one change. The West Zone selector Salil Ankola, a former India bowler, will leave the existing committee and shockingly the reason is chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
BCCI decided there couldn’t be two selectors from the same zone. Ajit Agarkar, a former captain of India and Mumbai, was chosen by the Indian board to serve as the new chairman of the selection committee a few months ago.
Now BCCI has decided that since Salil Ankola and Ajit Agarkar are both from the West Zone, it would be best if former’s time as a senior selector did not get extended once it expires as per The Indian Express.
BCCI AGM on September 25
The current selectors were given a one-year contract by the Indian board, and they must reapply in December of this year.
Ajit Agarkar, SS Das, Subroto Banerjee, S Sharath, and Salil Ankola make up the current selection committee.
It has been learned that the BCCI will receive approval from the house to invite applications once the term expires during its annual general body meeting, which will be held in Goa. The board will also present the selecting committee with a revised compensation check at the same time.
On September 25, the BCCI will hold its 92nd Annual General Meeting (AGM). Mumbai hosted the last BCCI AGM on October 18, 2022.
This AGM will be held prior to the coveted ODI World Cup in India in 2023.
And it is anticipated that the World Cup and its preparations will be the main focus of the BCCI AGM.
Along with the much debated subject of the upcoming Indian Women’s Cricket Team head coach, IPL 2024 will also be briefly discussed.
The Indian women’s team’s search for a new head coach and support staff looks to have been put off till the start of the country’s new domestic international season in December.
