Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra has said that Ajit Agarkar’s future as selection committee chairman might also be on the agenda at a meeting to be held on Thursday, September 3. He added that they have taken some tough decisions during their tenure and have also picked teams that have won global titles as well. VVS Laxman, Gautam Gambhir, and Devajit Saikia will reportedly be part of the high-powered committee meeting that would decide the future roadmap of Indian cricket. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer might also be there in the discussion.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Two big agendas have come to the fore. Since Ajit Agarkar’s tenure is about to end, that might come up for discussion. Should Ajit Agarkar be continued with? If you look at his tenure, he has taken some tough calls. Some calls were aided because players retired. Three big retirements have happened in his tenure.”

“It includes Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin in Tests. Mohammad Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have not been able to return. These are again big calls that Ajit Agarkar’s committee has taken. It will actually stop with Ajit Agarkar. However, Ajit Agarkar’s committee is the same one that has built World Cup-winning teams,” he further added.

However, Aakash Chopra also added that Rohit Sharma’s international future might also be discussed in the meeting as well.

“It’s been heard that Rohit Sharma’s future will be discussed. Rohit has shown his willingness to play. When he scored 138 runs at Lord’s, a full stop should be put on all discussions. The decision might be that there won’t be any talk about this going forward. Everybody is going to talk in the same vein that they see Rohit Sharma playing the 2027 World Cup, and that is the end of the story,” he said.

“There could be an absolutely radical flip side to it, that it doesn’t matter to them and that they have decided that he won’t continue. Either of the two stories could come. However, the way he scored 138 and is looking leaner, fitter, meaner, and willing to play, I think it will be that they are putting this conversation to bed,” he concluded.
