BCCI Terminated Abhishek Nayar: A shocking news related to the Indian cricket team has come to light. Actually, BCCI has taken action against a member of head coach Gautam Gambhir's team. Ending the suspense, let us tell you that assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has been removed. However, the reason behind this has not been clearly revealed. If media reports are to be believed, BCCI had already informed about removing Abhishek Nair from the support staff. 

News agency PTI quoted a BCCI source as saying in its report, "After India's recent defeats in Test cricket (against New Zealand and Australia), there was a churning going on regarding the support staff, but there is also a feeling in the BCCI that Nair became a scapegoat in the fight between an important member of the support staff and a senior star player."

These two giants are also sure to be out 

Fielding coach T Dilip and strength and conditioning coach Soham Desai are also set to be out after completing more than three years in their respective positions as the BCCI's new standard operating procedure (SOP) limits the tenure of support staff to three years.

"Right after the Australia tour, the BCCI had a review meeting in which the top officials of the board, including secretary Devjit Saikia and vice-president Rajiv Shukla, key members of the Indian team and the national selectors were present. In this meeting, a senior member of the support staff had expressed apprehensions about Nair's role and said that his presence was having an adverse effect in the dressing room. The BCCI did not take immediate action but they brought in Kotak," a senior BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity. was a way to sideline Nair during the Champions Trophy.
