Ajit Agarkar to get highest salary among all previous India chief selectors

The chairperson of India's senior men's team gets a yearly remuneration of ₹1 crore while the other four members get ₹90 lakh each.

The chairperson of India's senior men's team gets a yearly remuneration of ₹1 crore while the other four members get ₹90 lakh each. This is considerably low compared to other high-profile jobs related to the men's team. The BCCI has reportedly promised to rectify even that for Agarkar.

Agarkar is set to get the highest salary as chief selector of the Indian team in recent times. Agarkar, who has been a part of four World Cups and was a member of India's T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2007, earned a hefty amount from corporate events, commentary assignments and television gigs as an expert. He was also the assistant coach of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals. Much like the other 'big names' of Indian cricket, his hands were full.

According to Indian Express, a final decision on Agarkar's remuneration is set to be taken in BCCI's Apex Council meet on Friday.
