Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar says the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should avoid an “extreme step” following India’s recent defeats. Gavaskar’s comments come after India loses two consecutive Twenty20 International series, 2-0 against Ireland and 4-0 against England, in a period that has followed India’s T20 World Cup 2026 triumph. In his remarks, Gavaskar refers to “rumours” circulating in cricket circles and argues that drastic actions should not be taken on the basis of such reports. The outlets describe his stance as a warning against abrupt decision-making during a rough stretch for the national team. While the coverage does not specify what changes he is against or which personnel issues the rumours relate to, it frames his intervention as a call for measured consideration by the BCCI after the team’s performance dips on tour. The reporting aligns on the timing of India’s losses and the nature of Gavaskar’s message to the governing body.
