BCCI Calls Former Stars Gambhir, Agarkar, Laxman for Review of India's Poor Away Record

BCCI announced that former opening batsman Gautam Gambhir, ex‑fast bowler Ajit Agarkar and former middle‑order stalwart VVS Laxman will meet senior officials next week to analyse India's dismal away form. The decision comes after a series of overseas defeats, notably in England and South Africa, which have pushed the team's win‑percentage abroad below 30%. Critics have long urged the board to address technical and strategic gaps that surface on foreign pitches. Sources indicate the trio will be asked to share insights on batting techniques against seam movement, coping with pace‑friendly conditions and mental preparation for touring. The meeting is expected to shape the agenda for upcoming tours to New Zealand and the West Indies, with the BCCI president stressing a commitment to reviving India's competitiveness overseas.
