Only the BBC can ultimately answer that.

As I read somewhere ;

Even if the new Dr Who has been offered the role because he’s the best person… the reality is that years of diversity-first policies have convinced many that the best person for the job is no longer actual BBC policy.
After 60 years its suddenly a female doctor, then a black (possibly gay) doctor, then a trans companion, not to mention a glut of in your face woke episodes - so yes, its looks remarkibly like another box ticking exercise.
