BCCI holds review over India's poor Ireland and England tours

The BCCI held a review meeting to examine India's disappointing performances during recent tours of Ireland and England, but chief national selector Ajit Agarkar did not participate in the proceedings.

BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia explained that the meeting was called on short notice, and Agarkar was out of station at the time. The board did not disclose specific details of discussions held during the closed-door session or recommendations that may have emerged.

Agarkar's current contract with the BCCI is set to expire at the end of September. However, no discussion regarding a potential contract extension took place during the review meeting, according to available information.

The review comes as India seeks to address performance concerns ahead of upcoming international assignments. The board's focus on evaluation reflects growing scrutiny over the team's recent results on overseas pitches, a traditional challenge area for Indian cricket.
