Former all-rounder Ajit Agarkar set to become chief selector as BCCI likely to hike annual salary

-


 Former India all-rounder Ajit Agarkar is all set to become the chairman of the senior selection committee of BCCI, a post that has been vacant since February 17 when former fast bowler Chetan Sharma resigned after he was at the center of a sting operation.

BCCI officials contacted Agarkar with a promise to increase the annual salary of the chief selector, which is currently Rs 1 crore. Agarkar then decided to apply and he is the only big name in the list of applicants. He quit his role as assistant coach of IPL team Delhi Capitals on Thursday. Interestingly, in 2020, BCCI had not picked Agarkar when he applied for the selector’s post.

The other members of the selection panel are paid Rs 90 lakh each per year.

Former Mumbai captain Agarkar played 26 Tests, 191 ODI, and four T20s for India. He was part of the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning team which was captained by MS Dhoni.

The current members of the senior selection committee are Subroto Banerjee, Salil Ankola, Sridharan Sharath, and Shiv Sundar Das, who has filled in as interim chairman after former Sharma resigned in February.

To apply for the post of selector, a candidate should have played a minimum of 7 Test matches or 30 First Class matches or 10 One Day International matches, and 20 First Class matches.

He/she should also have retired from the game at least 5 years previously. No person who has been a member of any Cricket Committee (as defined in the Memorandum of Association and Rules and Regulations of BCCI) for a total of five years shall be eligible to be a member of the Men’s Selection Committee.

In the sting operation by Zee News, Sharma was purportedly heard saying that Indian players were taking injections to stay fit.

He also purportedly claimed that Hardik Pandya, who has been captaining India in the T20Is since the T20 World Cup, was a frequent visitor at his house.

When the BCCI changed the entire selection panel following Team India’s exit in the semifinal stage of the T20 World Cup in November, Sharma was re-appointed in January this year.

  Cristiano Ronaldo   is feeling at home again. It took only two games for him to make his peace with Portugal’s national team and show he is not done impressing at the international level just yet. In his return after a disappointing World Cup and a controversial move to Saudi soccer, the 38-year-old Ronaldo scored four goals in Portugal’s first two games in 2024 European Championship qualifying, showing he remains the leader that fans got used to seeing wearing the national team’s red and green uniform. Ronaldo netted twice in the 6-0 rout of Luxembourg on Sunday, three days after scoring another brace in the 4-0 win over Liechtenstein when he became the men’s player with the most international appearances with 197. “Two games, two victories,” the Portugal captain said on his social media accounts after the win at Luxembourg. “Happy to have contributed to a very positive start by our national team. Let’s go.” The goals came against European minnows but seemed to be enough to...

  Australian middle-order batsman  Travis Head   said being dropped for the opening test in India came as a surprise after “robust” conversations with the selectors, and he was ready to play anywhere in the line-up after being recalled. The 29-year-old aggressive left-hander Travis Head was left out of the team for the first test of the four-match series in Nagpur after struggling against spin on the tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. “It was something that I didn’t expect coming here,” Travis Head told reporters in New Delhi. “The conversations were robust. Everyone has different opinions. I respect the coaching staff and selectors and I have a strong relationship with them. “I think that’s what made the conversations the way they went because there’s respect that goes both ways and we were able to voice our opinions. “I woke up the next morning and I’m still on tour playing for Australia, I still get to do what I love to do. I’d love to be competing and playing but there’...
