Former India off-spinner Ramesh Powar is tipped to take over the role currently held by Ajit Agarkar, while former pacer Dodda Ganesh is under consideration to lead the national junior selection committee, according to reporting by Cricbuzz.
The potential reshuffle signals incoming adjustments across the national selection setup, with cricket administrators preparing to introduce fresh leadership to both the senior and junior selection panels.
Powar Linked to Senior Selection Role
Powar has emerged as the frontrunner to step into the position held by Agarkar. The former India international, who represented the national side across formats before transitioning into coaching and administrative positions, brings extensive domestic and international experience to the senior selection structure.
Agarkar took over as the chairman of the senior men's selection committee, steering the panel through a critical phase of team planning. Powar's anticipated appointment represents a transition in the committee's composition, bringing a new voice to squad selections and long-term planning for the national side.
Ganesh Considered for Junior Panel Leadership
Alongside the moves at the senior level, former Karnataka and India fast bowler Dodda Ganesh is being considered to head the junior selection committee, Cricbuzz reported.
The junior selection panel oversees talent identification and squad formation for the country's youth teams, serving as a critical pipeline to international and domestic senior cricket. Appointing Ganesh to head the junior committee would place an experienced domestic stalwart at the helm of evaluating grassroots performance and guiding emerging players into the national ranks.
Further formal announcements regarding the positions are expected as administrative processes move forward.
