The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday, October 19, appointed former India spinner Pragyan Ojha as chairman of the senior men's selection committee. Former India spinner Ramesh Powar has also joined the five-member panel following Ajit Agarkar's exit. Ojha's appointment is based on seniority, as he has played the most Test matches among the committee members. The panel now includes Ojha, Shiv Sundar Das, RP Singh, Ajay Ratra and Powar. The Cricket Advisory Committee unanimously recommended Powar after a selection process. The BCCI also acknowledged Agarkar's contribution during his tenure, which began in July 2023.
