VVS Laxman will be the new chief selector of Team India. Ajit Agarkar to be discharged

Team India Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar: Ajit Agarkar may be removed from the post of Chief Selector of Team India. The BCCI is likely to hand over the post of chief selector to VVS Laxman, who is currently the head of the Centre of Excellence (COE). According to Dainik Jagran, VVS Laxman is leading the race to become the new chief selector. The whole matter is said to be about keeping Rohit Sharma out of the team. In fact, the speculation of Rohit Sharma's retirement during the ODI series against England gained a lot of momentum. It was said that Rohit would play the last match of his career at Lord's

Target is to remove Rohit

According to Dainik Jagran, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee had put forward the idea of keeping Rohit Sharma out of the future plan against the Gautam Gambhir-led team management. Meanwhile, the Lord's ODI comes, in which Rohit plays an innings of 138 off 110 balls. This was the first century for India at Lord's in the history of ODI cricket.

It has also been revealed that many people in charge of the Indian team do not want Rohit Sharma to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. Let me tell you that very soon the BCCI is going to hold a review meeting regarding the tour of Ireland and England. A decision on Ajit Agarkar's future may also be taken in the same meeting. Agarkar's tenure ended in June 2026, but his tenure was extended by three months. He was expected to remain chief selector until the end of the 2027 World Cup, but now the situation seems to have changed

VVS Laxman will take up space!

According to the report, VVS Laxman is likely to be the new chief selector of Team India. VVS Laxman was appointed as the director of the BCCI's Center of Excellence (COE) at the end of 2021. He has been in this position for the last five years. From time to time, he has also coached Team India. For example, Laxman was the head coach of Team India on the recent tour of Zimbabwe and will also be with the Bataur head coach Team India in the Asian Games><

BCCI issued a statement

Rohit's century came as a shock to the selection management and team management. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devjit Saikia had to come forward and issue a statement that Rohit Sharma will continue to play as long as he is a part of the team. Most importantly, the BCCI issued this statement without informing Ajit Agarkar.

BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia said, "Rohit Sharma is a regular part of the ODI team. He will continue to play for Team India as long as he is involved in the team plan. The Lord's ODI won't be his last."
