Agarkar Applies For BCCI’s National Selector Job

Mumbai (Reporters Today): Former India pace bowler Ajit Agarkar today submitted his pplication for national selector role in the Board of Control for Cricket in India and is a frontrunner for the chairman’s post. Agarkar confirmed that he has applied for the national selector’s position.

Agarkar, who is a former chairman of Mumbai senior selection committee, is in contention for the chairman’s post as the new constitution doesn’t have provisions for the zonal system. It has also be confirmed that former India medium pacer and junior chairman of selectors Venkatesh Prasad has once again applied for senior selector’s post although he has only around one and half years of his cumulative term left.

With BCCI setting January 24 as the deadline for sending applications, 42-year-old Agarkar is certainly the most high-profile name with 26 Tests, 191 ODIs and 3 T20 Internationals, picking 349 wickets across formats.
