A report says the BCCI has given Ajit Agarkar a “free hand” to set up India’s men’s national team setup following the Test retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The move is linked to the changes in India’s Test core, with Agarkar expected to take charge of key decisions about structure and team planning.
The outlets present the same basic claim, but with minor differences in wording. One report frames it as a response to both Kohli and Rohit stepping away from Tests and portrays Agarkar as being allowed to shape the team “as he likes.” The details of the scope of authority, timelines, and specific responsibilities are not elaborated in the available summaries.
Overall, the reports agree on the central point: after Kohli and Rohit’s Test exits, the BCCI is moving to empower Agarkar to oversee parts of the men’s Test environment as India transitions to a new phase.
