From Pragyan Ojha reportedly taking over as India's interim chief selector following Ajit Agarkar's exit to Mike Hussey's expected departure from Chennai Super Kings, the day brought plenty of headlines.Here, we take a look at five of the biggest cricketing news stories that emerged on September 29.Pragyan Ojha Named India's Interim Chief SelectorFormer Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha has reportedly been appointed as the interim chief selector of the Indian men's cricket team following Ajit Agarkar's departure from the position. The 40-year-old is set to take charge of the selection committee on a temporary basis as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) navigates the transition.According to a report by Kushan Sarkar of The Times of India, Ojha has been entrusted with the interim responsibility, while all four active selectors are currently in Guwahati for India's ongoing ODI series against West Indies.Also Read- Justin Greaves Ruled Out Of IND vs WI 2nd ODIMike Hussey To Leave CSK As Batting CoachChennai Super Kings are reportedly set to undergo another significant change in their coaching setup, with Australian great Mike Hussey expected to leave the franchise ahead of IPL 2027. The former Australian batter has reportedly decided not to renew his contract, which expired after the conclusion of the 2026 season.The development comes shortly after the franchise announced Zaheer Khan as its new head coach for IPL 2027, following Stephen Fleming's departure to take charge of the England men's cricket team.Hussey had previously been viewed as a potential successor to Fleming, given his experience and longstanding association with the Chennai-based franchise. However, Zaheer's appointment has now reshaped the team's coaching structure, with Hussey's reported exit adding another layer of change.R Ashwin To Be Honoured With A Stand At Chepauk StadiumRavichandran Ashwin is set to receive special recognition from the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA), with a stand at the iconic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai reportedly set to be named after the former Indian spinner.According to a report by Venkata Krishna of The Indian Express, Ashwin will be honoured alongside two other legendary Indian cricketers, S Venkataraghavan and Krishnamachari Srikkanth.The TNCA is reportedly planning a joint ceremony to unveil all three stands in the presence of the former players.The proposed event is expected to take place ahead of the inaugural Big Bash League match scheduled to be hosted at Chepauk in 2027. PCB Bans All Players From Playing APL 2026The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), led by Mohsin Naqvi, has reportedly decided not to issue No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to its national cricketers for the upcoming Afghanistan Premier League (APL) 2026.According to Geo News journalist Sohail Imran, the PCB will refuse NOCs to all its national players who wish to take part in the league. The journalist also expressed support for the reported decision through a post on his X account.The registration deadline for the tournament is October 5, while the APL draft is scheduled for October 24. The PCB's reported stance could therefore affect the participation of Pakistani players as the ACB finalises its plans for the competition's return.Nathan Ellis Ruled Out Of South Africa ODIsAustralia have suffered another injury setback ahead of the third and final ODI against South Africa, with fast bowler Nathan Ellis and left-arm spinner Joel Davies ruled out of the match scheduled for September 30.Both players are set to leave the tour and return to Australia for further medical assessments and rehabilitation. Their absence leaves the visitors with fewer bowling options for the series finale, although Pat Cummins is reportedly in contention to return after missing the first two matches.Also Read- India's ODI Record At Barsapara Stadium Guwahati Ahead Of IND vs WI 2nd ODI, 2026
