India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar attends the Duleep Trophy 2026 final at Chepauk. The appearance comes days after he does not attend a key Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) review meeting in Mumbai.

Both outlets link the timing of Agarkar’s attendance to reported discussions around his contract extension. While the coverage agrees on his participation in the final and the earlier missed meeting, it provides limited additional details about what was discussed at the BCCI gathering or the status of the contract talks. The reporting focuses on the sequence of events rather than on any specific outcome from the meetings.
