India head coach Gautam Gambhir had to return to India on June 11 due to a family emergency. He was in the UK preparing for the upcoming Test series against England. Here's what we know about his situation:

Gambhir has returned to India to be with his mother, who is hospitalized in New Delhi. The exact date of his return to the UK is uncertain and depends on his mother's recovery. If all goes well, he should be back before the first Test in Headingley.

Key Details:

• Gambhir left for India on June 11 from the UK.
• There is no fixed date for his return to England yet.
• His mother is in the ICU of a Delhi Hospital after a cardiac arrest.
• The India squad is being overseen by assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate in Gambhir's absence.

This is not the first time Gambhir has had to return home due to personal reasons. In 2024, he missed a Test in Australia for similar reasons. The BCCI is supportive of his decision to be with his family during this time.
