Virat Kohli and India head coach Gautam Gambhir have once again become the center of attention ahead of the first ODI against England after reports claimed the two were not seen interacting during India's training session at Edgbaston. While the practice was primarily focused on final preparations for the ODI series, the apparent lack of communication between the former teammates quickly sparked widespread discussion on social media.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) remains optimistic that India will travel to Bangladesh in September 2026 for a six-match white-ball series, despite the strained relations between the BCB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earlier this year. According to BCB officials, recent developments have been encouraging, raising hopes that the bilateral series will proceed as scheduled.
