The board has sacked three significant members, assistant coach Abhishek Nair, fielding coach T. Dilip, and strength and conditioning trainer Soham Desai, from their respective positions with effect from immediately.

According to a report in the Indian Express, by removing the coaching staff and many more members, the BCCI has given a strict warning that the performance of the Indian team in Tests cannot be ignored. With these changes, the board has started preparations for the upcoming England tour, which is to take place in June. A new massage therapist has also been included in the team for this tour.

Dilip was working with the team as a fielding coach for a long time, and his tenure was to end in March this year.
