Rohit Sharma included in ODI squad amid Ajit Agarkar's BCCI exit speculation

Rohit Sharma has been selected for India's ODI series against the West Indies starting September 27, despite previous reports suggesting he may not be part of future plans. The development coincides with speculation regarding Ajit Agarkar's potential departure as BCCI chief selector. Agarkar's contract is set to expire this month, with former players Parthiv Patel and Pragyan Ojha emerging as frontrunners for his position. Following Sharma's significant performance against England, where he scored 138 runs, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia denied that Sharma's career is in jeopardy, ensuring that he will continue playing as long as he fits the selectors' plans. The next BCCI AGM scheduled for Friday may bring clarity regarding Agarkar's future and the selection process leading to the 2027 ODI World Cup.
