BCCI to conduct major review to reshape Team India's white-ball roadmap after ZIM vs IND 2026 T20Is: Reports

The board will assess selection, tactics and overseas execution after losses in Ireland and England, with the review expected to shape World Cup planning.

  • The Board of Control for Cricket in India is set to review the national team's recent white-ball performances after a disappointing United Kingdom tour, with the assessment expected at BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.
  • India's T20I squad, captained by Shreyas Iyer, suffered its first-ever series defeat to Ireland in Belfast last month, then lost four of five matches against England. The ODI team, captained by Shubman Gill, also fell 2-1 to England despite Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's presence.
  • The review will involve captain Shreyas Iyer, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and Centre of Excellence head VVS Laxman examining team selection, tactical approach and overseas execution. This contrasts sharply with India's World Cup success earlier this year under Suryakumar Yadav.
  • Beyond team strategy, the BCCI will also evaluate support staff contracts during the August meeting. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has requested to step down after his two-year contract, while fielding coach T Dilip's future remains uncertain.
  • Even as selectors prepare India's Test squad announcement for Sri Lanka by Tuesday, the white-ball review is scheduled for August ahead of the two-match series beginning August 15 in Galle. The timing reflects mounting pressure despite earlier public backing of current leadership.
