Ajit Agarkar’s future as India’s chief selector will be decided after his tenure ends in September 2026. The BCCI is in no rush to take any decisions and has refuted reports that Ajit Agarkar had requested for an extension after India’s T20 World Cup 2026 success.
Agarkar becomes chairman of selectors in 2023. Later, in 2025, the tenure of the former Indian fast bowler was extended by one year following India’s consistent success in the T20 World Cup 2024 and Champions Trophy 2025. His current contract is due to expire in September 2026.
Ajit Agarkar’s extension request put on hold till September 2026
Well, now he wants to remain the chief selector till the 2027 ODI World Cup, but as per the rules, a senior selector can hold the post for four years. Therefore, the matter is likely to be discussed only after his current term ends at the end of this year, and only then will a decision be taken.
