Concerns over Gautam Gambhir’s position as India’s head coach have intensified as the Test side teeters on the verge of a 0–2 series defeat to South Africa. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now expected to review its options for the longest format, with the team’s recent performances raising questions about Gambhir’s suitability to lead across all three formats.

Amid this debate, Iceland Cricket seized the moment to take a light-hearted swipe at the former India opener. Known for their irreverent and often humorous commentary on global cricket affairs, the Icelandic board made it clear on social media that Gambhir would not be considered for their national coaching role.

“To all our fans, no, Gautam Gambhir will not be invited to be our new national team coach. That position is already filled and we won 75% of our matches in 2025,” Iceland Cricket wrote on X, drawing attention to India’s recent struggles under Gambhir without naming them directly.

Gambhir, appointed to oversee India’s squads across formats, now faces mounting scrutiny, particularly regarding his stewardship of the Test side. With the BCCI preparing for a possible shake-up, the coming weeks are likely to determine whether he continues at the helm in the traditional format of the game. (With inputs from Agencies)
