Former Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha has been named Chairman of India’s Men’s Selection Committee, replacing Ajit Agarkar, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on October 19.
The BCCI also confirmed the appointment of former India spinner Ramesh Powar to the selection committee following interviews conducted by its Cricket Advisory Committee.
Ojha will chair the five-member panel based on seniority, determined by the number of Test matches played.

Powar represented India in two Tests and 31 ODIs and previously served as head coach of India’s women’s team.
