Actually, Ajit Agarkar's tenure as Chief Selector of Team India was from 4 July 2023 to 4 October 2026. During this period, many veteran players announced their retirement. Which includes the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from T20 and Test. Fans hold Agarkar responsible for the retirement of these two greats from Test cricket. At the same time, questions were being raised about experienced players like Bhuvneshwar Kumar not getting a chance in the team despite better performance in IPL and domestic cricket.
However, Bhuvneshwar's return after the end of Agarkar's tenure is being considered more than a mere coincidence. It is believed that now there are hopes of returning to the team for those veteran players who are out of the team. The biggest name among these is that of Mohammed Shami. Fans have been expressing their displeasure over him being named in the team. Cricket experts believe that after Bhuvneshwar's return, Shami and other players can think about their comeback.
