The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reported to be preparing to sack a key member of the Team India support staff, linked to the sports science unit, following concerns raised by national selectors and head coach Gautam Gambhir and selector Ajit Agarkar. Both reports describe the move as a response to what they frame as a pattern of key players breaking down frequently.
According to the outlet, Gambhir and Agarkar express frustration over repeated injuries or physical breakdowns among important players, and the BCCI is considering action against staff responsible for sports science and conditioning. The reporting suggests the decision is aimed at addressing the situation by changing personnel rather than altering the on-field selection structure.
While both accounts come from the same outlet and emphasize the same trigger—worries about player fitness and frequent breakdowns—the coverage does not provide additional details such as the name of the individual to be removed, the timing, or whether any internal process or findings led directly to the decision. The reports therefore present the development as a planned staffing action under discussion.
