Amid growing criticism of Gautam Gambhir's tenure as India's cricket coach, former England spinner Monty Panesar suggested the BCCI explore separate coaches for different formats. Gambhir, under whose leadership India lost ODI and Test series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, is reportedly under scrutiny. Panesar highlighted challenges in Gambhir’s transition to coaching, noting his past batting struggles in Australia and England. Panesar proposed VVS Laxman as a Test coach, citing his credibility and success across conditions. Laxman’s expertise could command greater respect within the team, potentially addressing concerns over Gambhir’s effectiveness. Discussions within the BCCI are anticipated.
