The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to take a review meeting related to Team India's poor performances in Test and ODI cricket of late. The reports in Danik Jagron have revealed that head coach Gautam Gambhir, skipper Rohit Sharma and selector Ajit Agarkar will be questioned. 

The BCCI reportedly is unhappy with the India team's ODI series loss against Sri Lanka, home Test series loss against New Zealand and the poor performances in the ICC World Test Championship.  Hence, the captain and coach will be at the helm of tough questions. 

BCCI President Roger Binny, Vice President Rajiv Shukla, Interim Secretary Devjit Saikia and other officials will be there at the meeting. As per the reports, no harsh decision like sacking will be taking place but questions will be raised over the selection of the team and some other decisions. 

Gautam Gambhir is all set to be grilled as some of his decisions during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, like picking two spinners in Sydney, Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement mid-series and also some of the dressing rooms leaks, will be discussed. Along with him Ajit Agarkar too will be facing questions related to selections. 

Gautam Gambhir and his support staff will continue in the role as the BCCI doesn't want to make changes with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Gautam Gambhir and his support staff will continue in the role as the BCCI doesn't want to make changes with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. Along with the review of the team's poor performance, the selection discussions will also be taking place. 

The reports also added that there is no threat over the place of  Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODIs. But their future in Tests will be discussed. However, immediately, any decision won't be taken as the prime focus will be on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India, under Gautam Gambhir, has been having a hard time. They faced a 3-0 loss to New Zealand at home, then suffered a 3-1 loss against Australia, which saw them getting eliminated from the race to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Also, in ODIs, they lost to Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years. 

The India captain Rohit Sharma has arrived in Mumbai as well. The meeting will soon get underway. It remains to be seen what will be the future of the team.
