Along with creating a balance between senior and young players, many big and bold decisions were taken in the selection, which gave a new direction to the team. The board believes that Agarkar’s strategy and selection policy have played a major role in the team’s ‘fearless approach’ and consistent success. This is the reason why BCCI is now fully ready to extend his contract. If this decision takes official form, then till the 2027 World Cup, the command of the selection policy of Team India will once again remain in the hands of Ajit Agarkar.
