With Ajit Agarkar’s term over, the BCCI is eyeing fresh faces; and Jaffer’s solid record might just give him the edge. He’s got more Tests under his belt than Pragyan Ojha, and under current rules, that could make him the zone’s top choice. But don’t count Ojha out; insiders say BCCI might still want him at the helm. Add Ramesh Powar (2 Tests) to the mix, and you’ve got a quiet but spicy selection battle brewing. For aspirants, this is a reminder: experience counts; but so does internal support. Cricket politics, after all, isn’t just about numbers.
