BCCI to review India’s T20 performances in Ireland & England after poor showings

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to conduct a review of India’s T20I performances in Ireland and England. This comes after the Men in Blue suffered back-to-back series defeats against the two countries on their white-ball tour to the British Isles.

After winning the 2026 T20 World Cup, India lost a series against Ireland for the first time in any format of the game. Then losing a bilateral T20 series against England for the first time added to their misery. A team in transition, three-time T20 champions are yet to taste victory under the leadership of new captain Shreyas Iyer. 

After losing the Ireland series 2-0, India are 3-0 down against England with one game to spare. Questions have been raised about the batters’ struggle in overseas conditions. Debutant Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been the prime example of this theory. The 15-year-old, who was the MVP and the Orange Cap winner during the 2026 Indian Premier League, has scored just 42 runs from three outings. 

“We will have a review meeting with the core members of the team to discuss what went wrong in England. The BCCI is currently observing the performance of the Indian T20 team which has not been up to the mark in the ongoing series against England. However this is not something abnormal and can happen in international cricket. We consider it as a purely bad phase,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said.

Following the conclusion of the five-match T20I series, India will take on England in a three-match ODI series. The team will see the return of the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, in hopes of a better display on the field. 

“The review meeting will be strictly about the team’s performance and how to address the shortcomings. Nothing else will be discussed. Once the ODI series gets over on July 19 and the team comes back, we will have a review meeting,” the secretary added.
