Wasim Jaffer rates Ajit Agarkar's India tenure successful but flags selection issues

timesnownews.com

Wasim Jaffer rated Ajit Agarkar's tenure as India's chief selector successful, despite reports his contract may not be extended following the upcoming Sri Lanka series. Under Agarkar, who took charge in July 2023, India reached the 2023 World Cup final and won the 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups, the 2025 Champions Trophy, plus Asia Cups in 2023 and 2025. Jaffer called India's white-ball dominance proof of success. However, Jaffer questioned handling of Sarfaraz Khan, Mohammed Shami, Abhimanyu Easwaran, and Auqib Nabi, who earned a maiden Test call-up as a Bumrah replacement, saying such performers should be first-choice selections.
