India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill
India lost the two-match T20I series against Ireland 0-2 before losing the T20I series against England 1-4 and the three-match ODI series 1-2. The BCCI will look to ensure Indian cricketers get enough rest, time to acclimatise and practice matches before major series in SENA countries, secretary Devajit Saikia said on Thursday.
The road map has been prepared and we will be doing some exercises so that we have a very good performance in 2027 (ODI) World Cup,” Saikia added.
He said there was no communication gap within Indian cricket on injury management, but acknowledged that the Future Tours Programme (FTP) could be planned better to give players more time to prepare. Saikia said the meeting covered India’s performances in England and Ireland and the team’s plans for the next year. Saikia said the team needed to do some “soul searching”, while adding that a strategy had been “chalked out” in that regard.
Saikia was speaking after a review meeting at the BCCI headquarters, which discussed India’s recent performances and the team’s plans for the next year. “We discussed (about) our team performed in England and Ireland and also about what we are going to do about the next one year. He also acknowledged that India had not done well on their limited-overs tours of Ireland and England.
