Ajit Agarkar appointed India’s chief cricket selector

The rest of the selection committee members include Shiv Sundar Das, Subroto Banerjee, Salil Ankola, and Sridharan Sharath.

Ajit Agarkar, the former India T20 World Cup-winning all-rounder, has been appointed as the BCCI’s new chairman of selectors for the men’s team.

On Tuesday, a three-member committee appointed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recommended Agarkar,45, for the role of chairperson of the men’s selection committee “based on seniority”, from the total number of Test matches.

The rest of the selection committee members include Shiv Sundar Das, Subroto Banerjee, Salil Ankola, and Sridharan Sharath.

Agarkar’s appointment comes months after his predecessor Chetan Sharma resigned following a sting operation by a news channel, which caught him gossiping about Indian cricketers.

Agarkar has represented India in 26 Tests, 191 one-day, and four Twenty20 matches in an international career spanning from 1998 to 2007.
