The chair of the men’s selection committee is appointed based on seniority in terms of international matches played, with Tests being given preference. That meant Ojha, a veteran of 24 Tests, took charge after Agarkar’s exit. Ojha has been a member of the committee since September 2025, alongside Shiv Sunder Das, RP Singh and Ajay Ratra, and served as the interim head after Agarkar’s term, leading the panel that selected the squads for the upcoming all-format tour of New Zealand.
