Amid BCCI Scrutiny, 'Strict' Gautam Gambhir's Rift With Support Staff Member Revealed: Report

Gautam Gambhir's stint as Team India's head coach has not been a bed of roses, and neither has seemingly been his equation with his support staff. With Gambhir and his support staff - particularly Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate - under scrutiny from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), a report has revealed a dressing room dispute. The report states that bowling coach Morne Morkel was reprimanded by Gautam Gambhir during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour for arriving late to training.

The Indian cricket team, under coach Gautam Gambhir, is in a rebuilding phase, especially in the T20I format. After the 2024 T20 World Cup, three veterans Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retired from the format. Currently, the team is being led by Suryakumar Yadav and with the next T20 World Cup happening next year, the search is on for a perfect combination. Needless to say, there are a lot of young blood in the side.

The analysis and after-effect of the India vs Australia series, where Rohit Sharma and Co. were drubbed 1-3 will be a far-reaching one it seems. Already reports are saying that BCCI has cracked the whip on the superstars by insisting that they play domestic cricket. There are also reported mandates on family members, managers and other supports staff. In the midst of this, Sunil Gavaskar has sent a very hard-hitting message to the BCCI. The former India captain urged that there was immediate need to shake things up to make Indian cricket 'rocking again.

The BCCI is considering a slew of disciplinary measures in the aftermath of India's disastrous tour of Australia, including limiting the presence of spouses on tours and barring managerial staff of coaches and players from the team bus. The steps which could be taken moving forward will limit the presence of wives and other family members on assignments to a maximum of two weeks if the tour is 45 days or more. If the duration is less than that, the presence of wives could be limited to a week.

Gautam Gambhir, Ajit Agarkar Blasted For Ignoring T20 World Cup-Winner: "Suddenly Disappeared..."

Former India batter Aakash Chopra has questioned the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee over the absence of all-rounder Shivam Dube from the squad for the upcoming T20I series against England. Dube, who was part of the T20 World Cup-winning side last year, has fallen out of favour under the regime of head coach Gautam Gambhir and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar. Dube travelled to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka for the T20I series after the World Cup triumph but was ignored for the subsequent home series against Bangladesh, as well as the away tour of South Africa.

There has already been a review of the Indian cricket team's performance in Australia by the BCCI, while it is understood that Gambhir and senior players aren't on the same page on the issue of team culture. It is learnt that the head coach was not pleased with how some star players gave specific demands about hotels and practice timings during the tour of Australia. But, on the other side, senior players have felt a lack of communication from his end. Amid this ongoing tussle is the view of the national selection committee, which does not want the head coach to have too much of a say in selection matters.

BCCI vice-President Rajeev Shukla on Monday denied any rift between India head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma, while also offering support to the senior batter who is currently navigating a major slump in form. India were mauled 1-3 by Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with Rohit managing a mere 31 runs during the series, which prompted him to drop himself from the line-up in the fifth and final Test in Sydney.

It will be hosted by Pakistan and UAE, with India playing its matches in UAE under hybrid model.
