The BCCI dismisses rumours about restructuring India’s senior men’s cricket setup, including claims that it will appoint a “director of cricket.” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia says there is no planned change involving the appointment of such a role, and he also rejects reports that chief selector Ajit Agarkar’s tenure will end or that there will be changes to the senior selection committee.
The denials come as other speculation circulates around Gautam Gambhir and the broader composition of the selection process. While some outlets frame the story around internal shake-ups and possible new appointments, the BCCI positions its response as a clarification that no such decision has been made. The messaging is consistent across reports: the board points to rumour, not policy, as the basis for its statements.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the board’s attempt to close down circulating narratives and re-stabilize attention on current roles within the selection framework. The BCCI’s official stance contrasts with the attention given to the rumours’ implied implications for leadership and selection structure.
