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.

Indian cricket’s legendary batsman and former captain Sunil Gavaskar has urged the BCCI to pay attention to the interests of the players and give at least one month’s rest to centrally contracted cricketers every calendar year. The 1983 World Cup winner said this after the end of the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, in which the Indian team won 3-0. It is worth noting that the only Test match played between India and Afghanistan was played just six days after the clash of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans in the final of IPL 2026.

Gavaskar said that he understands that BCCI has to play the role of an elder brother to countries like Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, but he appealed to the board to also take care of the health and fitness of the players. This series played between India and Afghanistan was not successful in attracting spectators to the stadium and the ODI matches played in Lucknow and Chennai were played in front of half-full stadiums.

The former Indian captain believes that constantly resting players and adopting a rotation policy reduces the importance of the India Cap, while only the best players should get a chance in the national team. He said, “Yes, the BCCI is like a big brother to countries like Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka and has always tried to support their development on the field and strengthen their economic condition by touring these countries. However, the health and fitness of our cricketers is also extremely important and the players should get at least one month of clean rest in a year. India is rich in talent and hence you can rotate the players, but this is diluting the importance of the India Cap. No player can get a cap just because. He should be given this respect because he is replacing a player who has been rested.

Gavaskar wrote in his column in mid-day. ‘In the Test match against Afghanistan, a team that made honest efforts but nothing more, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul scored centuries and Manav Suthar made an impressive debut. Jasprit Bumrah was rested, but wouldn’t he be looking to add a fiver or ten wickets to his career record against this team? When India is playing, only the best team should play, unless there is a compulsion like injury. But due to workload, giving rest to players should be avoided as much as possible. Look at the calendar, India is playing cricket somewhere every month.
