# BCCI review of India’s T20I and ODI series defeats still pending, Saikia’s illness cited 2026-08-05T23:11:57+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk NDTV Sports reported that a BCCI review of India's recent T20I and ODI series defeats in Ireland and England had not yet taken place, citing a Dainik Jagran report that attributed the delay to board secretary Devajit Saikia being unwell, with Gambhir expected to join virtually once it is held. Saikia had earlier said the review would focus strictly on team performance. India also fell to an unassailable 3-0 T20I series deficit against England, after suffering a clean sweep against Ireland, and lost the ODI series against England, which ended on 19 July. Saikia had separately called the run of results a bad phase rather than something abnormal. The Indian team had reached Sri Lanka for a two-Test series starting 15 August. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The review meeting's date, agenda and outcome remain undetermined, since only its delay, attributed to Saikia's illness, is confirmed. Saikia's own description of the run of results as a purely bad phase is the only characterisation on record from the BCCI, with no rival account from selectors or team management reported. Watch for the review meeting itself once Saikia is available. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com Tags: BCCI, Devajit Saikia Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/big-twist-in-bccis-review-plans-after-indias-england-humiliation/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
