NEW DELHI: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate did not hold back after India's poor run in overseas T20Is continued with another series defeat. After being whitewashed 0-2 by Ireland, India have now lost the five-match T20I series against England 0-3 with one game still to play.
Ten Doeschate said India first need to accept that they have not performed well overseas.
"We have spoken so much about adaptability, it's easy to say we need to adapt, it's easy to say but really it's a point now where we need to understand the process, what is needed to make those adaptations," Ten Doeschate said.
"I don't want to stand and defend the players and also be over critical but the onus is on the players to have the mindset to accept that the fact it's really going badly and look at the evidence in front of them," the coach said.
It is the first time since February 2019 that India have lost two consecutive bilateral T20I series. Back then, they lost 2-1 in New Zealand before suffering a 2-0 defeat at home against Australia.
England also created history by beating India in a bilateral T20I series of two or more matches for the first time. India had won five of the previous six series between the two teams, while one had ended in a draw.
