In a significant shake-up within Indian cricket, support staff members Abhishek Nayar, T. Dilip, and Soham Desai are reportedly set to be relieved of their roles with the India men’s national team. According to sources cited by IANS, a team masseur, whose identity remains undisclosed, has also been released from the setup.

Nayar had joined the Indian team as assistant coach in July 2024, stepping away from his role with Kolkata Knight Riders. Dilip and Desai, on the other hand, have been part of the team since November 2021 and October 2020 respectively. All four were part of India’s triumphant campaign in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, where the team remained unbeaten en route to lifting the title in Dubai.
