BCCI invites applications for men's selector after Ajit Agarkar's tenure ends

The BCCI opened applications for one position on the men's selection committee after Ajit Agarkar's tenure ended on October 4. Agarkar decided against seeking an extension following three ICC trophies during his time as chairman. Pragyan Ojha will serve as interim chairman and will lead the panel selecting squads for the New Zealand tour.

Applicants must have played at least seven Tests or 30 first-class matches and must have retired from cricket for at least five years. The deadline for applications is 5:00 PM IST on October 14. The new selector will help shape India's squads across all formats and contribute to long-term planning and talent identification.

The role requires scouting players through domestic and international matches, attending team meetings, and preparing quarterly evaluation reports for the Apex Council. Ravindra Jadeja posted a cryptic message on social media asking about the procedure for applying.
