BCCI must scrutinise team management’s role: Saba Karim

Former national selector Saba Karim has urged the BCCI to scrutinise the Indian team management’s role in the unprecedented twin T20I series debacles against Ireland and England and take appropriate measures.

India lost 0-2 to Ireland and were whitewashed 0-4 by England in back-to-back T20I series defeats.

“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),” Karim said.

“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,” the former India stumper added.
