BCCI's top brass to analyse India's T20 World Cup 2022 performance on January 1

Several of the top Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials will review India's lacklusture performance in the T20 World Cup 2022 alongside skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid on Sunday, January 1 in Mumbai.

In addition to Dravid and Rohit, VVS Laxman, who is currently heading the National Cricket Academy (NCA) as its chief is also expected to be a part of the crucial meeting.

The meeting is happening ahead of Sri Lanka's upcoming limited over series tour of India which is scheduled to start on January 3. India suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Jos Buttler-led England side in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup down under.

The loss shut the doors on India's hope of ending its long drought of winning an ICC silverware. Last time India won a major ICC tournament was way back in 2013. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, a young Indian side had defeated hosts England in the summit clash of the tournament by five runs. 

It was MS Dhoni's third major ICC title, having previously won the inaugural ICC World T20 in South Africa in 2007 and the ICC 50-overs World Cup in 2011 in the Indian subcontinent.

The selection committee led by former India pacer Chetan Sharma that had picked India's squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia this year had to face repercussions of India's unceremonious exit. The selection committee was sacked by the BCCI after the culmination of the event.

But it still continues to keep a track on the ongoing Ranji Trophy and also picked India's T20I and ODI squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour at home.

Fresh applications were invited after the sacking of the committee and Harvinder Singh and Chetan Sharma have reapplied for the job. Former wicketkeeper-batter Nayan Mongia and right-arm pacer Venkatesh Prasad are also among those who have applied for the same.
