According to BCCI sources, the board is set to assess the performances of both the players and the coaching staff.
Key Points
- England secured their first-ever bilateral T20I series win over India in a series of two or more matches.
- India have now lost consecutive T20I series after also suffering a maiden series defeat to Ireland.
- Both defeats have come since Shreyas Iyer replaced Suryakumar Yadav as T20I captain.
Although head coach Gautam Gambhir’s contract runs until 2027, his position has also come under scrutiny following the team’s recent performances, the source claims.
India, led by newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer, suffered a nine-wicket defeat in the fourth T20I of the five-match series. The victory gave England an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, with the opening match ending in a no-result. India suffered a four-wicket defeat in the second T20I before enduring a heavy 125-run loss in the third match, where they were bowled out for 76 while chasing a target of 202 runs.
Notably, this is India’s second consecutive T20I series defeat as the defending T20 World Cup champions, following their 2-0 loss to Ireland before the England tour. The defeat against Ireland also marked India’s first-ever series loss to the side.
