India's recent UK tour was a complete disaster. The team first lost the two-match T20I series against Ireland 2-0. They then travelled to England and suffered another heavy defeat, losing the five-match T20I series 4-0. India failed to win a single game under the new captain Shreyas Iyer.
As the Men in Blue gear up to take on England in the three-match ODI series, Saba Karim wants the BCCI to review the performance of the coaching staff, not just players. The former selector believes that everyone involved with the team should be held responsible for the disappointing results.
Saba Karim was quoted as saying by PTI: “After such a disastrous series — a whitewash with huge margins of defeat — no one can abdicate responsibility, not only the support staff, including Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, but also the captain (Shreyas Iyer) and the vice-captain (Tilak Varma). I think these people are the think tank of the Indian side, more so when you're travelling outside India. The BCCI must examine their role and responsibility for the debacle.”
Saba Karim backs Shreyas Iyer despite India's T20I disaster
Karim further added, “I hope that once you have invested in a captain like Shreyas Iyer, you continue to give him more support and back him. But I also feel that the time is right now for Iyer to assert himself in terms of planning, in terms of resources, in terms of the kind of vision he has. It is up to him now to lead the team forward and to have the right resources under him.”
He feels such meetings are important because they help identify mistakes and decide what changes are needed before the next assignment. The former selector also said the players should always feel confident and secure inside the dressing room.
Saba Karim demands honest self-review
Karim feels the defeats against Ireland and England should become a learning experience for everyone. He said the players, selectors, coaches and support staff all need to honestly analyse what went wrong and understand why India struggled so badly on the tour.
The commentator also urged the team to accept mistakes, fix the weak areas and perform honest self-analysis to bounce back strongly after a disappointing UK tour.
Karim signed off by saying, “That is what is expected. But if it has not happened, that's the reason why. I mean, that is why the BCCI needs to find the reason for what went wrong.”
