Indian cricket board to review T20 team’s ‘bad phase’

England's Harry Brook (centre) shakes hands with India's Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after England won the fourth Twenty20 at the Seat Unique Stadium, in Bristol, south west England, on July 9, 2026. (AFP) India’s cricket board will review the T20 team's performance after a dismal run that saw the world champions lose successive series in Ireland and England, a top official said Friday.India slumped to a nine-wicket defeat in the fourth T20 against England on Thursday, handing the hosts an unassailable 3-0 lead with one match remaining after the opener was washed out.The loss was India's fifth straight defeat, following a 2-0 series whitewash in Ireland last month.The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will meet to discuss the reasons for the team's show after the England tour ends on July 19, secretary Devajit Saikia said."The BCCI is currently observing the performance of the Indian T20 team which has not been up to the mark in the ongoing series against England," Saikia, who is in Edinburgh for the annual conference of the International Cricket Council, told AFP over phone."We will have a review meeting with the core members of the team to discuss what went wrong in England."India, who lifted the T20 World Cup in March, have endured a dramatic dip in form. On Thursday they managed 158-7 in Bristol, a target England chased down with nine wickets and more than six overs to spare.The defeat came days after India were dismissed for just 76 in Nottingham, suffering their heaviest-ever T20 loss by a margin of 125 runs.Saikia described the slump as a temporary setback."This is not something abnormal and can happen in international cricket. We consider it as a purely bad phase," he said.India, coached by Gautam Gambhir, has been without pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Hardik Pandya because of workload and injury-management concerns.Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, handed his long-awaited debut at 15 years, has struggled to make an impact, with scores of 14, 13 and 15 in his three innings.  Related Story

Can ageless Messi keep delivering for Argentina at World Cup?

Argentina's forward Lionel Messi has tears in his eyes as celebrates winning the World Cup round of 16 match against Egypt at Atlanta Stadium in Atlanta on July 7, 2026. (AFP) Lionel Messi has scored in every World Cup match so far, but after two gruelling knockout ties, will age finally catch up with the 39-year-old in the quarter-final against Switzerland?Lionel Scaloni's team sailed through the group stage but have been pushed to the limit by Cape Verde and Egypt.They needed extra time to squeeze past the World Cup newcomers in the last 32 before winning 3-2 and then came back from the dead against Mohamed Salah's team.The defending champions have won all five of their games, with Messi's brilliance and their unshakeable team spirit central to their progress.Messi made up for a missed penalty against Egypt with a wonderfully composed finish as Argentina rallied from two goals down in the closing minutes.He broke down in a rare show of emotion at the end of the pulsating 3-2 win in Atlanta, saying he was desperate for his World Cup journey to continue."It was a moment of pure happiness and relief," said the Inter Miami forward. "We wanted to stay in the tournament. We didn't want today to be the end, we didn't want to go home."Messi admitted he was tired after playing 120 minutes against Cape Verde but he featured for the whole game against Egypt and remains indispensable. Saturday's quarter-final at Arrowhead Stadium will take him back to the scene of his hat-trick in Argentina's first match of the 2026 tournament.He has continued his scoring run, taking his tally to eight -- level with Golden Boot rival Kylian Mbappe.And he has also become the leading scorer in World Cup history, with 21 goals across his career. Team spirit Aside from their diminutive genius, Argentina's most potent weapon is their remarkable camaraderie.The South Americans are now unbeaten in 11 World Cup games as they seek to become the first country since Brazil in 1962 to win back-to-back World Cups."Whatever happens from here on, this team gives me the feeling that it never stops believing, even when everything is going against it," said Scaloni.That sentiment is echoed by midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who said the side "never gives up no matter the difficulties and adversity".There have even been dark suggestions that Argentina -- trailed everywhere by legions of blue-and-white-clad fans -- have been treated favourably at the World Cup.Egypt coach Hossam Hassan speculated that the officiating team for the last-16 game may have been subjected to "external pressure" to favour Argentina, a suggestion quashed by FIFA referees chief Pierluigi Collina.The South Americans face a tough test against an industrious and well-drilled Switzerland team in Kansas City.The Swiss, led by their influential captain Granit Xhaka, are one win away from reaching their first-ever World Cup semi-final.Murat Yakin's men eased past Algeria 2-0 in the round of 32 before holding their nerve to beat a strong Colombia team on penalties.Attacking midfielder Johan Manzambi was outstanding during the group stage, adding thrust to a team of experienced campaigners and scoring three times.But Manzambi missed the match against Colombia with an injury and is a doubt for the Argentina match.Xhaka, 33, said Switzerland had waited a long time to find such a potent mix of experience and youth."I think this generation we have now is a special one," the Sunderland midfielder said."Of course, we try to pass on our experience, but above all the mentality that, even as a small nation, anything is possible at this level, in elite football," Xhaka added."From the coaching staff to the last player, we can all be proud of what we've achieved."The winners of the match in Kansas City will face either Norway or England, who clash in Miami, also on Saturday.   Related Story
