Gambhir, Sharma face BCCI scrutiny
Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai|January 07, 2025
India have lost six of their last eight Tests; they were saved by the weather in Brisbane while the Perth Test win was the only bright spot.

MUMBAI: The string of losses in Australia followed the mauling against New Zealand at home. As serial losses of importance go, these rank as poorly as India's eight losses in 11 Tests in 2011-12 (four each in England and Australia).

Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman did not play a Test after those Australia losses. R Ashwin called it a day in the middle of this Border-Gavaskar Trophy series and it is unlikely he will be alone after the 3-1 loss. Given the weight some of the big names carry, it's equally unlikely that any decision will be taken without consulting BCCI officials.

The BCCI Special General Meeting on Sunday will see Devajit Saikia take charge as the new secretary. Even before he sits down with the team management and chief selector Ajit Agarkar for a series review, board officials have said not much can be read into Rohit Sharma's "I am not going anywhere" comment in an interview to Star Sports during the SCG Test - he didn't play the match - after media reports suggested he may have played his last Test.
