The Board of Control for Cricket in India chief selector Ajit Agarkar is also in the firing line along with his colleague Shiv Sunder Das and could face axing irrespective of the final result of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025.
According to an explosive report in The Telegraph India, the BCCI will start the review of India's performance after the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, and the bowling coach Morne Morkel and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate are likely to be sacked.
Despite being the chosen ones, the contributions of Morkel and Ten Doeschate to the team have been questioned as both have failed to deliver, particularly in Test cricket.
One particular decision of Morne Morkel that left the Board of Control for Cricket in India angry and finalized his axing was the inclusion of debutant Anshul Kamboj in the playing XI in Manchester Test over Prasidh Krishna, as many felt that the Haryana pacer was not fully fit, which reflected on his bowling speed.
"The BCCI brass thinks they have shown enough patience and it’s time to crack the whip," the report read.
As of now, Gambhir stays - Report
But the same can't be said about Test cricket. In the longest format of game, India have been absolutely awful as they faced an embarrassing 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand at home and lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 1-3 to Australia.
“The coaches always talk of balance but keeping a world-class wrist spinner like Kuldeep Yadav out has had disastrous consequences,” the source said.
"Gambhir’s record has been disastrous in the longest format — eight losses and four wins in 13 Tests before the Manchester game. As of now, Gambhir stays, since the BCCI doesn’t want a change at the top, especially in a team which is in transition," the report added.
Ajit Agarkar could be axed
Talking further about coaches, there have been differences of opinion between the team management and the players on selection issues. BCCI is shocked to see Gambhir not giving preference to specialists and inclining towards all-rounders.
