Gautam Gambhir, Ajit Agarkar speak to Hardik Pandya, inform him about last-minute change in India T20I captaincy: Report

Hindustan Times  

New India head coach Gautam Gambhir and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar have reportedly spoken to Hardik Pandya about a last-minute change in appointing the captain of India's T20I side. According to a report in the news agency PTI, Gambhir and Agarkar informed Pandya that they are looking for a long-term captain, keeping an eye on the next T20 World Cup in 2026 at home. Head coach Gambhir and chief selector Agarkar have informed Hardik Pandya about their decision to go ahead with Suryakumar as T20I captain. The T20 leadership role fell vacant after Rohit Sharma bid adieu to his international career in the shortest format following India's World Cup triumph last month in the West Indies.
