Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar said instead of blaming the players for the T20I debacle, attention should be on addressing issues in the IPL, while selectors should pick players without the 'IPL make-up' as India will play a lot of cricket overseas.

The national side experienced a disappointing tour of the UK, suffering a 0-2 clean sweep against Ireland before enduring a comprehensive 0-4 thrashing by England in their five-match T20I series, which saw the opening fixture abandoned due to rain. This marked the team's very first T20I series or tournament loss in a span of three years.
