Will BCCI replace Ajit Agarkar after Rohit Sharma century?

Ajit Agarkar's tenure as chief selector ended in June before the BCCI granted a three-month extension. The board now considers replacing him with VVS Laxman following Rohit Sharma's recent performances. Rohit scored 138 in the third ODI against England at Lord's.

The century has renewed debate over India's ODI succession planning. Selectors face scrutiny over whether to retain Rohit for the 2027 World Cup cycle despite calls to transition the batting order. Reports indicate the BCCI may act on Agarkar's position before the extension expires.

Rohit has faced earlier low scores that prompted speculation about his future. His Lord's innings has temporarily eased that pressure while highlighting tensions between the board and the selection committee. The decision on Agarkar will shape India's approach to the next phase of limited-overs cricket.
