The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is in a wait-and-watch mode regarding the future of Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of the men's senior selection committee, as his tenure is nearing completion. The matter was discussed during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the BCCI headquarters, where key officials were present.

BCCI president Mithun Manhas, vice-president Rajeev Shukla, secretary Devajit Saikia, Bengal Cricket Association president Sourav Ganguly, and Jharkhand State Cricket Association secretary Saurabh Tiwary attended the AGM. Ajit Agarkar's role as chairman of the men's senior selection committee was a topic of discussion, but no final decision has been made yet.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to begin in the last week of March next year, which will mark its 20th anniversary.
