Rohit Sharma and Company recently suffered a crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand. After Bengaluru, Pune, the host team had to face defeat in the Mumbai Test. In this way, the Indian team got a clean sweep at home after 24 years. Now BCCI will reportedly interrogate Team India’s head coach over his poor performance in the home series.
Let us tell you that after assuming charge of Gautam Gambhir, BCCI agreed to all his demands. The board included the entire support staff, including Abhishek Nair, Morne Morkel and Ryan ten Doeschate, as per Gambhir’s choice. At the same time, after the defeat in Bengaluru and Pune, BCCI can also ask about the demand for turning pitch in Mumbai.
The decision to go for turning pitch took some people on the board by surprise, an informed source told The Times of India. The new support staff under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir will also be asked about their vision of taking the team forward.
The board can reconsider its decisions
The source further said that, till now, BCCI has agreed to every demand of Gambhir. Despite BCCI’s policy of promoting coaches groomed through the NCA programme, they have been given support staff of their choice. He has also been allowed to participate in the selection meeting to choose the team for the Australia tour. The board can reconsider its decisions and ask for a roadmap from Gambhir.
It is being told that captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Gautam Gambhir and selector Ajit Agarkar will also attend this review meeting. There will be a lot of pressure on the Indian team with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 due to their recent performances.
