BCCI summons Gambhir, Agarkar and Laxman to review India’s dismal away form

BCCI summons Gambhir, Agarkar and Laxman to review India’s dismal away form

The BCCI is set to hold a meeting with key players and coaches on Thursday to review India's poor performance in away matches. The discussion will center around managing player workload, especially in preparation for the 2027 ICC World Cup, which is set to be held in southern Africa. Key figures in the meeting include captain Shubman Gill, head coach Gautam Gambhir, head of cricket VVS Laxman, and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar.

The team is scheduled to play a series of ODI, T20I, and Test matches in the coming months, during which players have reportedly been struggling with fitness issues. The BCCI aims to ensure that the players reach peak fitness levels before the World Cup, and will also review India's T20 losses in Ireland and England. Additionally, there are talks of scheduling an ODI series against Cricket South Africa to further prepare for the World Cup.
