This development of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) axing a veteran member of the support staff comes days after the announcement of the India squad for the Asia Cup 2025.
The likes of Abhishek Nayar, Arun Kanade, Soham Desai, and T Dilip have been let go by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. However, they were forced to make a U-turn and bring back T Dilip as fielding coach because there was no other suitable candidate for the role. Also, Soham Desai rejected a contract extension.
He served as the team masseur for India for nearly 15 years, but now he has been removed, and a new masseur has been brought in at the recommendation of team management.

India is spoilt for choices - Farvez Maharoof
“India is spoilt for choices. (Ajit) Agarkar (chairman of selectors) is just too straightforward. These two guys haven't done wrong. One (Jaiswal) takes on the bowlers from ball one, while the other is a leader of men. The system in India to produce players is fantastic,” Maharoof said, as quoted by PTI.
“Hardik Pandya, on his day, is a match-winner. We saw that in the T20 World Cup in West Indies, we saw it in the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka (2023), whenever he performed well India have done well. For me in this side, Hardik Pandya can make the difference," he added.
