The team's coaching staff could undergo a major reshuffle following consecutive series defeats to South Africa, Ireland and England, the local media report
NEW DELHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 11th, 2026) India's recent run of disappointing performances has reportedly triggered uncertainty within the national cricket team's coaching setup, with media reports suggesting that changes to the support staff are under consideration.
The Indian media reported that the team's coaching staff could undergo a major reshuffle following consecutive series defeats to South Africa, Ireland and England. A key member of head coach Gautam Gambhir's coaching team is reportedly expected to leave, while another support staff member may also step down.
Reports said the atmosphere in the Indian dressing room has become increasingly tense after the team's poor results. The situation is believed to have worsened following a Test series whitewash against South Africa, with reports claiming that internal differences have affected the team's environment over the past several months.
India's struggles continued in the ongoing five-match T20I series against England, where the hosts secured another convincing victory in the fourth match. England's batters dominated the Indian bowling attack, extending India's losing streak and sealing the series after taking an unassailable 3-0 lead.
Indian media further reported that one member of Gautam Gambhir's coaching staff is likely to join an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, while another member of the support staff is also expected to depart.
The reports also suggested that differences between the national selectors and the coaching staff have added to the challenges facing the team. The board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to hold a review meeting after the conclusion of the England series to assess the team's recent performances and consider possible changes to the coaching setup.
According to Indian media, BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia has already indicated that a review meeting will be held to determine the reasons behind the team's disappointing results and identify areas requiring improvement.
India's recent setbacks include a 2-0 Test series defeat to South Africa, a 2-0 T20I series whitewash against Ireland and the loss of the ongoing T20I series against England, raising fresh questions about the team's performance and future direction.
