The answer has been found as to who will be the new chief selector of the Cricket Board of Control in India. Former fast bowler Ajit Agarkar has been appointed Chief Selector. Ajit Agarkar will replace Chetan Sharma as chief selector. BCCI also increased the salary to make Ajit Agarkar the chief selector.
It was almost certain that Ajit Agarkar would become the chief selector. The last time Chetan Sharma was chief selector again, Ajit Agarkar was also in the race. Although then Chetan Sharma managed to win. But a bite from Chetan Sharma went viral on social media, so he had to step down as Chief Selector. The position of Chief Selector has been vacant for the past several months. Now Ajit Agarkar has been selected for this post.
Agarkar was previously associated with Delhi Capitals. But a few days ago, Agarkar had left the capitals of Delhi. After this it became clear that Agarkar would become the chief selector. The appointment of Ajit Agarkar is very important for the Asian Cup that will be held next month. Along with this, Ajit Agarkar’s role will also be important in this year’s World Cup.
Salary increase
The news also broke that, due to the low salary of the coach, no great player wants to apply for this position. It was also learned that Virender Sehwag turned down the offer to become the chief selector due to his low salary. With these things in mind, the BCCI has increased the salary of the head selector. As chief selector, Ajit Agarkar will earn Rs 1 million a year from BCCI. The salary of the other selectors towards the BCCI has also increased.
