3 names likely to replace Ajit Agarkar as India's chief selector
The BCCI has opened applications for the West Zone vacancy on the senior men's selection panel, with a deadline of October 14, 2026.
3. Ramesh Powar
Ramesh Powar, the former India off-spinner, brings a broad administrative and coaching background to the table. He has served as head coach of the Indian women's national team and also led Gujarat's senior side as head coach.
Powar has recently been named to lead the BCCI's Junior National Selection Committee, where his responsibilities include overseeing age-group cricket pathways across the country. His experience across multiple levels of Indian cricket gives him a strong profile, though it should be noted that his confirmed role at present is on the junior panel rather than the senior men's selection committee. The BCCI is expected to finalise the appointment after the October 14, 2026 deadline passes.
