VVS Laxman Emphasizes the Role of Injuries in Modern Cricket at BCCIs Center of Excellence
Bengaluru, August 9: VVS Laxman, head of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Center of Excellence (CoE), believes that injuries are an inevitable part of high-level sports today. He highlighted that the CoEs role extends beyond just rehabilitating injured players. There is excellent coordination among support staff, selectors, and team management. Both ...

Transition To State-of-the-art Facility, Women's ODI WC Win High Points Of Tenure: Laxman
ODI World Cup: Reflecting on his tenure at the helm of the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Centre of Excellence (CoE), former India batter VVS Laxman on Sunday cited the transition to world-class infrastructure and the Indian women's team's historic 2025 ODI World Cup triumph as the ultimate highlights of his stint. Laxman, one of the few players to have played 100 Test matches, has been the CoEs head of cricket since December 2021. Under him, the high-performance facility moved from being at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to a world-class facility spread across 40 acres of land on the outskirts of the garden city. First, realising and being part of the vision converted into actual execution has been the highlight. Because we were operating from that facility at the Chinnaswamy, which was great, and it still contributed towards a lot of cricketers. But this is an unbelievable world-class infrastructure. So I was part of that transition. The second thing was the development of a lot of young cricketers. Again, it's not the trophies you win. Trophies are a byproduct of what systems, the processes you set. Those systems and the processes are something which is in your control and you can focus in an objective way, understanding whether those processes are working or not working. The trophies are a byproduct of the hard work and the processes and systems you put in place, said Laxman in a press conference on Sunday. Explaining his deep connection with women's cricket, Laxman expressed immense pride in the team's maiden ODI World Cup victory, and recalled the emotional moment when head coach Amol Muzumdar and captain Harmanpreet Kaur invited him to join the winning celebrations. The third one is understanding and being involved with women's cricket. I think that for me was something out of my comfort zone, and out of my understanding. I think in the last four and a half years, the amount of involvement I got into women's cricket is something which I will treasure. In fact, Amol and Harman wanted me to be there on the ground when we won the World Cup. I was there in the BCCI box and I enjoyed watching from there - the whole celebration. I was probably one of the last ones to leave because, again, any vision you set in, any goal or ambition you establish, and if that bears the fruit, you feel really happy about it. So I think Indian women's team winning the World Cup was probably the high point. So there are a lot of high points. Actually, watching the youngsters as with this magnitude of the infrastructure, from April to September, the entire infrastructure of such a big scale is filled with players. In that, watching right from under-16, under-15 players to your elite contracted players like Harman, Indian women's team and men's team and targeted players coming and to see them work on their game, to see them get better each and every day, it can't be more meaningful than what I've experienced. So I think that, again, is a high point and I think all these players, all these activities will only strengthen Indian cricket and all these players, I'm sure, will get a lot more laurels to Indian cricket and try to be the best players they can be and we always aim to be the best team in world cricket. Speaking about star batter Virat Kohli, Laxman lauded his work ethic and the benchmarks he has established for the next generation of players. I think there's no doubt that Virat is an exemplary professional and the standards he sets for himself is something which he tries and goes out each and every time he plays, whichever team, to meet those standards and that's why he's a great role model. I think a lot of youngsters or players want to emulate him and that's been, again, one of the high points. I see a lot of youngsters, I don't know if I can name them, but everyone who's here and the benchmark we set is the benchmark of the best. That's why you have the NFDC parameters. It's not only about the fitness, but it's also the attitude with which a role model plays and that's why they're known as role models. Elaborating on the psychological and physical management on the players undergoing rehabilitation at the CoE, Laxman cited all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy as a case in point regarding workload management amid tight schedules. I think the mental side of a player undergoing rehab or getting injuries is something which we always require to keep in mind. So the player also knows that he has got injured. The player also knows what is that he requires to do to get fit and be again participating in the commitments. Now from the CoE side, we make sure that we make the player understand the workload. In this case, it is Nitish. Being an all-rounder, obviously there is a lot of workload on him and how he becomes fitter, not only when he is playing various tournaments but also when he is not part of any tournaments. I think it is an ongoing process now of getting better from your fitness levels because everyone knows, now you go to IPL, you play state franchise and then you start playing the domestic cricket or international cricket. So while you are playing the matches also, unlike before where there is an off-season where you actually can get better at your fitness, the player should know that while he is playing the matches, how he productively and meaningfully uses the breaks to get fit. So I think the conversation with Nitish is, injury is part and parcel. What is that you can do to get better, to handle the workload of being an all-rounder and it is across the board. It is not only Nitish, across the board, you want to tell and that is why the screening at the start of the season is very, very important. Laxman also highlighted the introduction of the 'Bronco test' to evaluate anaerobic capacity during competitive series without putting excessive strain on athletes. If you see in the presentation, the parameters we have for all the fitness tests, the NFTC test is mentioned there. So all the contracted players and the targeted players come before the start of the season and they undergo a string of fitness tests which you must have seen with various machines up there and on-field activities. So I think the conversation with Nitish is, injury is part and parcel. What is that you can do to get better, to handle the workload of being an all-rounder and it is across the board. It is not only Nitish, across the board, you want to tell and that is why the screening at the start of the season is very, very important. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So the Bronco test becomes like a conditioning session. It also indirectly tests the fitness levels, the anaerobic fitness levels of a player and that is taken on board across the various age groups and we do that through the season. So that is something which can be repeatable, Laxman concluded. Article Source: IANS

CoE Not Just A Rehab Centre; Injuries Part And Parcel Of Modern-day Cricket: Laxman
BCCI President Mithun Manhas: Stating injuries are an inevitable part of modern-day elite sport, BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) head VVS Laxman said on Sunday the facility carries a broader mandate than just rehabilitating injured players while asserting that seamless coordination exists between support staff, selectors, and team management. Amidst mounting injury concerns hurting the senior mens and womens teams at various junctures, Laxman addressed a press conference alongside BCCI President Mithun Manhas, secretary Devajit Saikia, treasurer Raghuram Bhatt, and joint secretary Prabhtej Singh Bhatia. The quartet also had a meeting with Laxman to address the increasing injury concerns at the high-performance facility spread over nearly 40 acres on the outskirts of Bengaluru. CoE is not merely a rehab centre. There are bigger roles to play for it in helping cricketers achieve excellence. I don't think it's a cause of concern. But obviously when someone is playing at the elite level, you're supposed to give more than 100 percent because if you're not, then you're not doing justification to the role or for what purpose you're selected in the team. There's no doubt that the modern generation of players has to play a lot more cricket than probably when I used to play the game. Obviously with the addition of T20, the three formats, but that's when all the initiatives which CoE and SSM staff has taken, it will benefit them. It's not only for the contracted or targeted players, it will benefit even the state players. So I think ultimately injuries are part and parcel of any player, said Laxman in the press conference. He also said that elite athletes naturally push their bodies, thus making physical setbacks an unavoidable component of competitive sport. I just want to reiterate that when you're playing at the highest level, you finish your whatever series, from that series to the next series, you automatically work hard on getting better, and on getting fitter. Even though you do that with playing at the highest level, you can get injured. So if you're thinking about not to get injured, then you're not playing to the best of your ability. So I think one thing which should be addressed, and I think that's changed dramatically, is how you see injury. Do you see injury as a negative thing? Or do you think injury is part and parcel? You obviously get better and evolve in the processes to take care of the players, but injuries are bound to happen. I think that's why the monitoring system is very, very critical. I've got no doubt that Adrian and Nick or Kamlesh and Rakhi are doing that when they're playing for the country. You get injured and we have to understand that it's part and parcel of playing international cricket with the intensity you expect them to play, he explained. Laxman further dismissed reports of miscommunication or finger-pointing over player fitness, even as players like Jasprit Bumrah, B Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Akash Deep, Prince Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy are rehabbing from varied injuries at the CoE. I think we don't like to use the name blame because when you're using the blame, then you're finding someone as a scapegoat. I don't know what you all feel and you start blaming because of this and because of that. But there's a brilliant coordination between the CoE, team management of both the teams and the SSM staff of both the teams and the selection committee, he said. Detailing the process regarding the conditional selection of key players like Bumrah and Sudharsan, who are now not in sight to play the two-game Test series against Sri Lanka, Laxman explained the systematic flow of information. Now you're talking about Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan. When we send a fitness status report, and the process is that the selector reaches out to the CoE asking for the fitness status report and we collect the current fitness status and send a fitness status report to the selection committee chairman or chairperson in women's selection committee with a copy to obviously the head coach of both the teams and the BCCI. Now with Bumrah and Sai Sudarshan, there's always an asterisk and this is one thing which you all know that when the media release comes from the BCCI, there's an asterisk attached to a player selection. And what does that asterisk mean? It means subject to fitness. So Bumrah and Sai Sudarshan were going to be picked to Sri Lanka subject to fitness clearance. He further added that recovery trajectories are continuously monitored before final calls are taken. As I told before, you assess them, you move them from one stage to the next stage and if the progression is slow, you communicate to the selection committee chairman and the head coach, which is happening seamlessly, and they understand that they're not yet ready to participate in an international series. Always it's player-centric and team-centric. So that communication is happening seamlessly. So the subject to fitness is something we require to keep in mind in any press release, and I think what the BCCI has done is to ensure there is transparency in all the fitness reports and also the selection. At the end of the selection, whether it's a release to the press, it's clearly mentioned that these players are picked subject to fitness. It means if they don't clear the fitness test here, that means the selectors will know who are the other players who will go in their place if they don't clear the fitness test. I mean, it's basic common sense. Elaborating on the administrative timeline, Secretary Saikia explained why the 'subject to fitness' clause remains essential during squad announcements. Just to add to your question, we basically have our selection meetings at least three to four weeks before the team departs. So therefore, three weeks before or four weeks before, we do not know the exact status of the player. At the end of the selection, whether it's a release to the press, it's clearly mentioned that these players are picked subject to fitness. It means if they don't clear the fitness test here, that means the selectors will know who are the other players who will go in their place if they don't clear the fitness test. I mean, it's basic common sense. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But by the time it will be effectively required for the travel or to play the match, by that time he may be totally picked. So in that situation, we always keep that subject to fitness condition and we do not deprive the player also. It is very uncertain that within 21 days he will get picked or not. Nobody can predict that as it is a human body, not a machine. So he may take 14 or 28 days time, subject to his own body composition, Saikia concluded. Article Source: IANS

Sri Lanka Cricket XI: In a significant blow to Indias batting plans, left-handed batter B. Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of the opening Test against Sri Lanka, starting on August 15 in Galle, due to a right big toe injury. At the same time, there are severe doubts over the availability of Sudharsan, who has been doing his rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, for the second and final match of the series, to be played in Colombo from August 23 to 27. Sai has been definitely ruled out of the first Test as he needs more time to fully recover from the pain in his right big toe. The medical team is monitoring his progress closely, and a decision on his inclusion for the second Test will be taken later, though hes more of a touch-and-go for it, said a source familiar with the matter to IANS on Saturday. IANS understands that Sudharsan has been progressing well in recovering from a stress reaction on his right foot and began batting as well as fielding and conditioning exercises. But the pain in the metatarsal of the big toe on his right foot after doing his skill work and exercises has been a cause of concern for the medical team. In seven Tests, Sudharsan has scored 383 runs at an average of 31.91.
