When reporters/media asked a BCCI official, Ajit Agarkar was not seen much in domestic matches.
South Africa has won a historic 2-0 victory over India in the ongoing two-match Test series between the two teams, while India has faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of South Africa, prompting questions from Gautam Gambhir. For this, the media has asked the BCCI why it is not managing its domestic team well.
India’s Test team’s bottom-tier struggles with Ajit Agarkar
Thus, this year India played a convincing Test against England and tied the series 2-2. Now, the team has fallen into a deep depression due to poor performance and has moved to the bottom of the Test rankings. At a time when Gautam Gambhir has extended his responsibilities as the captain of the Indian cricket team and Ajit Agarkar has been given the leadership as the chief selector, the Indian team has faced defeat in two Tests at home (New Zealand and South Africa).
The Indian team has tried to rotate the players; in this way, the head coach and the chief selector of the Indian team have been questioned. In this way, Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar have faced a lot of criticism. This directly means that when Ajit Agarkar was made the chief selector in the Indian team in his own name, after this, 30 different players were given opportunities.
Ajit Agarkar: A hero in domestic cricket, yet still a hero of credit?
When Agarkar took over as the chief selector in 2023, just a year after India toured England to play against England in 2024, many players got a chance to play in Indian Test cricket, like Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, and Rajat Patidar tried and succeeded in playing in difficult conditions, and they performed well, for which Ajit Agarkar got credit.
People have criticised Ajit Angarkar for not being seen in domestic games all season. Now, Ajit Angarkar is 47 years old. Why is he seen in domestic test games along with foreign tours? Isn’t domestic games a game? Or are domestic games not given much attention?
Agarkar is not watching Ranji Trophy games much, which is why he is breaking ties with domestic games and all the players who play domestically. If we look at it from the other side, players like Nitish Kumar Reddy also got a chance to play in Indian Test games, but Nitish Kumar Reddy’s performance was not good, in the same way, compared to NKR, Sarfaraz, Karun Nair aur Easwaran had a good performance in domestic games, despite this they did not get a chance, why? What is the purpose behind this?
He also appeared in the previous year’s Oder-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia and the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England.
