The record

Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.

  • Ajit Agarkar, chairman of the BCCI's senior selection committee, is reportedly planning to step down following the Indian cricket board's 95th Annual General Meeting.
  • The departure is not confirmed: Aaj Tak reports it as Agarkar's stated intention, while The Hindu BusinessLine notes the AGM instead authorised the board's office-bearers to decide the future of the chairman of selectors, leaving the outcome formally in the board's hands.
  • The role matters because the selection chief shapes India squads across formats, so a change at the top could feed into upcoming team selections.
  • Both reports are neutral, and neither gives a reason for the possible exit or a timeline.
  • The AGM also addressed other administrative and policy matters, though the coverage does not detail them.
  • Watch for a formal BCCI or Agarkar announcement, the office-bearers' decision, and any succession plan.

What to watch next

  • BCCI or Agarkar confirmation of the reported resignation
  • Office-bearers' ruling on the chairman of selectors' future
  • Naming of a successor selection committee chairman
  • Details of other AGM administrative and policy outcomes
