New Delhi, July 10 (IANS) BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has stated that the upcoming review meeting on India men’s recent T20I series defeats once the trip to United Kingdom concludes on July 19 will be strictly focused on course correction, adding that the discussions will revolve around identifying shortcomings and charting the way forward.

India’s T20I side under Shreyas Iyer suffered a shock 2-0 series defeat to Ireland before enduring another series defeat in England. The twin setbacks have prompted the BCCI to take stock of the slide, especially after India had won the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup on home soil in March.

“The BCCI is currently observing the performance of the Indian T20 team, which has not been up to the mark in the ongoing series against England. However, this is not something abnormal and can happen in international cricket.

We consider it as a purely bad phase.

“Once the ODI series gets over on July 19 and the team comes back, we will have a review meeting with core members of the team to discuss what went wrong in England. Since there is an ODI series, we are hoping that the team will be back in good form.

“The review meeting will be strictly about the performance of the team and how course correction can be done with regards to shortfalls. Nothing else will be discussed,” said Saikia in a statement issued to IANS on Friday.
