A report has revealed during the India vs England T20 series that there may be a change in the coaching staff of Team India. 2 members of the support staff can resign from their posts. After the defeat in the India vs England T20 series, it was also said in a report that there will be a discussion regarding the post of Gautam Gambhir, although his contract is till 2027.
Gautam Gambhir was appointed head coach in July 2024. Under him, India won the Champions Trophy, Asia Cup and T20 World Cup titles. Although the record in Test was not good, now after Shreyas Iyer became the captain, the situation in T20 has also become worrying. After Gambhir became the head coach, there were many changes in the coaching staff, former South African bowler Morne Morkel was also included in the coaching staff.
According to the report of Times of India, the support staff had signed a 2+1 contract with BCCI. The board and coach have the option to extend their contract for 1 more year after 2 years. According to the report, a coach is in contact with the IPL franchise and may go there, which also has teams in other leagues.

The reason is the defeat against England and Ireland?
No, it is being said that the defeats against Ireland and England are not the reason behind this. There was talk of this change happening for the last few months. According to the report, differences started in the dressing room after India’s defeat in the Test against South Africa. There were also differences of opinion between the selectors and the coaching staff, which further complicated it.
It is being said that after England, when the team will go on Zimbabwe tour, it will go with the changed coaching staff. Questioning this, a member of the board said that Gautam Gambhir had got a long break during the IPL. The report quoted a source as saying, ‘It is beyond comprehension to send VVS Laxman to Zimbabwe. I can’t even understand the plan of sending him to the Asian Games. Perhaps the board is looking at new options.
