Saikia, who took to social media to share the update, wrote, \"Had some important and productive discussions with BCCI functionaries in London today on matters concerning Indian cricket... Looking forward to the road ahead.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The meeting also saw the presence of Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) president and BCCI infra committee chief Rohan Jaitley. The BCCI secretary\u2019s social media post came at a crucial juncture when a reigning T20 world champion Indian men suffered a 0-2 series loss to Ireland, while the women's team failed to make it past the group stage after losing to Australia in their final group game at Lord's Cricket Ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Backing up their first ever win over India in internationals on Friday, Ireland scripted an epic 1-run win in the second T20I on Sunday, spearheaded by three-fers from the pace duo of Jai Moondra and Matthew Hollard. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
The T20Is in Ireland was India's first since their T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year. With Shreyas at the helm of the T20I side, it marked the start of a new phase for India in the shortest format, especially with the Los Angeles Olympics and the next Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2028.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The ODI squad will be led by Shubman Gill, while Shreyas will be his deputy. The three-match ODI series will see the return of talismanic batter Virat Kohli, who missed the recently concluded ODI series against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury he sustained during IPL 2026. However, his participation is subject to fitness clearance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
