BCCI calls this a ‘bad phase’. Trent Bridge suggests it’s a method problem

Four months ago, Suryakumar Yadav lifted a T20 World Cup trophy in Ahmedabad. On Saturday, he will watch from outside the XI as India try to salvage pride at Southampton, having already lost this series, their second straight defeat in a fortnight after a three-year run without one ended in a shock whitewash to Ireland. A loss here also costs India the world No. 1 T20I ranking they’ve held since 2022. In between, he lost the captaincy, then his place in the team altogether. Nothing about his batting changed. What changed is that India, having won a tournament playing one way, discovered it does not know how to play any other way, and needed someone to blame for that first. The clearest proof came at Trent Bridge, where India folded for 76, their second-lowest total in T20I history. Five wickets went down inside the powerplay alone, 54 for 5, the earliest India have ever lost five in a men’s T20I. Abhishek Sharma mistimed a top edge to point. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gloved an Archer bouncer behind. …

3 min readJul 10, 2026 07:48 PM IST The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will review the Indian men’s T20 team’s disappointing performances in England after the conclusion of the ODI series, secretary Devajit Saikia said in a statement on Friday. India have endured a difficult tour, slipping to a 3-0 deficit in the five-match T20I series against England after also losing the preceding series against Ireland 2-0. The batting unit has struggled to adapt to overseas conditions, raising fresh questions over India’s approach away from home. However, Saikia insisted the board was not alarmed by the results and viewed the slump as a temporary setback. “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,” Saikia said. India will switch focus to the three-match ODI series after Saturday’s fifth and final T20I in Southampton on …

3 min readJul 7, 2026 01:41 PM IST Veteran India batsman Ajinkya Rahane has reacted to Sanju Samson’s omission from India’s three-match T20I tour to Zimbabwe later this month, stating that he found it odd to see a ‘hero’ of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad not featuring in the squad for the series. Samson was excluded from the squad for the series starting on July 23, with Prabhsimran Singh included as the second wicketkeeper to back up Ishan Kishan. “Hope there has been some communication with Sanju Samson. Find it odd that the hero of our recent T20 WC win has been left out of the T20 squad to Zimbabwe. Hope to see him back in the team soon,” Rahane wrote on Instagram. Samson will miss the three-match series but is part of the Indian squad that will compete at the Asian Games in Japan in September. Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had also reacted to Samson’s exclusion from the squad, saying that if the management does not show the required confidence in players, then …

He analysed that on wickets like those which were a bit slow and spongy, Sooryavanshi would have excelled. “Arre wo khelna chahiya tha, Ireland mein khilana chahiye tha. Wo aisa slow track hai, spongy track hai wo chappar pe marta udhar. ek toh chota ground hai. Usko udhar khilana tha. Abhi yahaan par khilayenge ki nahi, pata nahi. (He should have played in Ireland.
