Meanwhile, the Indian team is under-pressure and scrutiny after the team lost the ongoing Test in England. The loss has further extended India’s dismal run in overseas Tests.
Commenting on the recent performance, Committee of Administrators (CoA) chairman Vinod Rai said that once the team manager submits his report, a view would be taken on it.
Rai told ANI, “I am not committing anything but there is always a review, once the team manager submits his report, we will take a view on it.”
India had their fair share of winning the series. However, they failed to capitalise on key moments. Throughout the series, the batsmen have been inconsistent while the bowlers, despite making light work of England’s top-order, failed to wipe out the tail.
