Gautam Gambhir expressed his gratitude to Ajit Agarkar after Agarkar’s tenure as chief selector ended. During Agarkar’s time, India achieved significant success in ICC tournaments, including three trophy victories. Pragyan Ojha has been appointed interim chairman of selectors while the BCCI invites applications for a permanent replacement. VVS Laxman will be present at future selection meetings to improve communication with the Centre of Excellence.
