Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar has called for the BCCI not to jump to conclusions after the disappointing results in the T20I series against Ireland and England.

After India's disastrous performance in the UK, the BCCI will hold a review meeting to analyses performances of the team and also consider some changes. While it has been speculated that decisions will be taken thereafter, Gavaskar feels that such suggestions would be unjust to India, which had won the T20 WC scarcely four months ago.

Most of India's recent struggles have been when new captain Shreyas Iyer has been at the helm, as he is yet to win as a captain in 6 T20Is so far. India have missed several top players during this time - Jasprit Bumrah, who was given a rest following a hectic IPL session, and Hardik Pandya have missed out through injury; Suryakumar Yadav has also dropped out of the T20I equation.

Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar:

"The BCCI is going to do a review of the defeat, and there are rumours that a few heads could roll. That would be an extreme step, for barely four months ago India were the world champions and still are No. 2 in the ICC rankings."

India's batters have taken a severe bashing after a series of failures in Ireland and England on seaming and bouncing tracks. Prolonged exposure to high-quality IPL bowlers like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma and Shreyas Iyer have struggled to adapt to outside conditions.

However, Gavaskar feels this is not to do with flat pitches but rather bad batting.

He stated:

“There’s been a lot of talk about how playing on flat batting pitches has spoiled the Indian batters. Even on the so-called flat pitches in the IPL, most of the Indian batters struggled against the short ball. That is more of a technical failing. With the weight on the front foot and the back foot locked, there is simply no transfer of weight to deal with a ball climbing towards the face."

Gavaskar raised one more complaint he felt was worth addressing. The batting legend said that the shortened boundaries in Indian stadiums have led to reckless batting and a major step back as far as the challenge for batters is concerned.

"That said, the short boundaries are also to blame, as many of the sixes hit just about clear the boundary rope and so could be catches elsewhere. This has to be looked at urgently if India is to reclaim the ODI title on the faster, bouncier pitches in South Africa. Every ground in India can have longer boundaries, but is there the will for that? That is the question. We shall soon see."

As the BCCI gets ready to analyse India's recent results, Gavaskar has indicated that technical upgrades and a long-term focus are what the Indian cricket team needs and not any improvisations.
