Search For Head Of Sports Science & Medicine At CoE Is On As Top Candidates Back Out: VVS Laxman
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has hit a major roadblock in its attempt to appoint a Head of Sports Science and Medicine (SSM) at its Centre of Excellence (CoE), with multiple high-profile international candidates backing out after nearing agreement. Speaking to reporters at the high-performance facility, CoE head VVS Laxman disclosed that despite extensive global recruitment drives, top choices, including a leading Australian expert and the former sports science head of the famous All Blacks rugby team, withdrew from the process at the final stage. The SSM head post has been vacant since Nitin Patel, the former India mens team physio, left the facility after March 2025. I think we have done a very extensive interview process. Andrew was part of the interview process when Nitin was selected in 2012. That's why we reached out to Andrew the moment we got to know that Nitin didn't want to continue or his term was getting finished. Andrew almost agreed and then backed out. Now, the second interview process was an extensive one. I can share, the first candidate was from Australia. The second and third candidates are already working at the CoE. Now, it's our responsibility to upskill them while looking to identify someone of that stature and experience and knowledge. So that process, it's not that the BCCI is not looking now for the suitable candidate, but you have to find the right candidate, said Laxman. Highlighting the scarcity of qualified personnel capable of managing elite athletes, BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia acknowledged the difficulty in finding an expert who meets the board's high benchmarks. In fact, it's a rare commodity to fit into that position. So we have our technical persons who are at a certain standard. So the person who will be heading the sports sector, he must be much better than them. So there are very limited people, not only in India but across the world. Therefore, we are facing some problems in spite of repeated processes being done. We are not getting the right candidate. So, because of the shortage and acute shortage, I should say, we are not getting the person. But the process is on to find the right candidate. Tracing the timeline of recruitment failures since Patel's exit, Laxman revealed that multiple global specialists pulled out due to personal reasons and unwillingness to commit to a full-time, on-site role in Bengaluru. Unfortunately, after Nitin left as the head of sports science, we didn't get anyone who can fill in that shoes or position. We had Andrew Leipus (who previously worked as Indian team physio and is now with IPL team Punjab Kings). In fact, everything was agreed upon. Devajit had with him two or three meetings and everything was agreed upon. Suddenly Andrew at the last moment citing family reasons backed off. Then we conducted a full fledged interview process where we had Dr. Dinshaw (Pardiwala), Dr. Ashish Soni and Dr. Rohan Khavte and myself, where we shortlisted five candidates out of which the number one, I don't want to name him, was an Australian. After selecting him, suddenly he backed out saying that he cannot move to Bangalore because one of the important reason and condition is it's a full time job. It is not a consultant or a part time one. You want that person to be here because like I'm here because it's a day to day monitoring. It cannot happen as a periodic monitoring, and unfortunately, that professional also didn't join. Then there was another professional who was the head of sports science of All Blacks. We engaged with him and he almost agreed. At the last moment, he backed out, he explained. Despite the vacancy at the helm, Laxman praised the existing internal team for stepping up and restructuring the department into localized operational units. So to fill in that position, you require someone not necessarily of the stature or experience, but the knowledge and understanding of Indian cricketers. It cannot happen as a periodic monitoring, and unfortunately, that professional also didn't join. Then there was another professional who was the head of sports science of All Blacks. We engaged with him and he almost agreed. At the last moment, he backed out, he explained. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Reiterating that the BCCI will not compromise on quality merely to fill the slot, Laxman confirmed that the hunt for the right candidate remains active. I think the lookout is there, but you have to find someone who is qualified and capable enough to take up that position. I think that that lookout is still there. So we require to definitely fill in that position and the suitable candidate has to be identified and I think that lookout is still there. Article Source: IANS

Rigid RTP Benchmarks And Technology Key To Player Recovery At CoE, Says VVS Laxman
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: Amidst the list of injured players of the senior mens team in double digits at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, its head VVS Laxman on Sunday said that they must meet strict, data-driven fitness benchmarks and complete two Return To Play (RTP) matches before being cleared to rejoin national or domestic teams. Addressing reporters at the CoE facility here, Laxman detailed the multi-layered diagnostic and recovery setup that connects the BCCI with world-renowned medical specialists, as he pushed back against the criticism of its injury-management protocols. The process starts with diagnosing the injury and finishes with a player declared fit after the two RTP (Return To Play) matches we have. Diagnosing, obviously, wherever the player gets injured in whatever environment - if it's the Indian team, the Indian team physio understands the nature of the injury and then we've got experts and specialists with whom we have got a year-long connection. Dr Rowan (Schouten) is the one we go as far as stress fracture for the back is concerned. Dr Dinshaw (Pardiwala) is our go-to doctor in Mumbai for shoulder, knee, in fact a lot more injuries. Then we've got Dr Kini, who is a foot and ankle specialist. We've got Dr (Sudhir) Warrier, who is our hand and wrist specialist. Then we've got three doctors... one in England who takes care of the surgeries of the ankle, one doctor in Munich who takes care of the sports hernia, and one doctor in South Africa, provided if we wish to explore that. Now, we got three specialists and interventional radiologists, Dr. Muthukumar, Dr. Shrikant, and Dr. Kini, who are the ones who read the scans and tell what is there in the scans. So, that becomes the first part of diagnosing the injury. Once that diagnosis happens, then those players through the Indian team, SSM staff is sent to the CoE, he said. Laxman then explained how players transition from physical therapy to match readiness once they arrive at the CoE. From the time they come here, two things which we do: obviously we clinically examine and assess them. Based on that assessment, we know what is the plan of action for them to recover and go back and join the team. The physio plays a part, and once the player is ready for the next phase, which is your strength and conditioning, then the S&C comes and plays a part. Slowly they go to the skill part, and then we build up the load, and then we play two RTP matches before we declare the player fit. Now, what is important, as I mentioned, through the data we have, we know the benchmark of each and every player from the skill and fitness point of view. So until and unless that benchmark is not met, or in fact got better, we don't release. That's a benchmark we use to declare a player fit. The whole idea is that when he goes back to the Indian team, men and women, or wherever, including the state teams or whatever teams he is participating, he has to be up and running and from the first match, he has been able to perform to the best of his potential. Now, it's an objective way of assessing the player to move from one stage to the next stage and this is where I think it's very important to understand that the guidelines and the timelines are given based on what you expect. But it's human body. It is not a machine where the timelines will always be met. So, there is a continuous process of understanding how a player is progressing and based on that, the load is increased. So, that is a process from the time they are diagnosed with the injury to the time they leave the COE and declare fit, he explained. Turning his attention to workload management for fast bowlers via the AMS (Athlete Management System), Laxman revealed Again, through this technology, you understand the workload. All this is there on a regular basis on the AMS. Like, the bowling workload for a fast bowler and I think our learning is, the stress injuries or the injuries happen not because a fast bowler is bowling too much. It happens that a fast bowler is not bowling enough. I think that's a critical part for all of us to understand. So there's a sweet spot we have for each and every fast bowler across the contractor, the targeted and the under-19s and there's a weekly monitoring of that load. So you give them X number of deliveries which they have to bowl in a week and then through the GPS which the players wear, we get the information whether they have been able to fulfill that or not. So there is a lot of emphasis on monitoring the load and I think through technology to various tools, we monitor that. I think remote monitoring is something which is very, very critical and it's tough. But at the same time, it's an evolving thing for us in how to remotely monitor a player when he's not in front of us, he said. Laxman also dismissed reports suggesting that contracted Indian players were bypassing official setups to consult private fitness trainers during their injury rehabilitation. This is news to me and I think there's a lot of news which is happening. But as I told, the way we do is the Indian team S&C is responsible of keeping a track of the contracted players. The S&Cs at the CoE are responsible to keep a track of the targeted and the age-group players. Everything is there on the AMS. Everything, every session of the player is there on the AMS and that is why we use the GPS, where wherever the player is doing, whatever he is doing is documented out there. If you see the men and women team's trainer, Adrian (le Roux), he is a world class trainer. In 2002, I remember he was our first foreign fitness trainer. The quality of him has got no questions around his quality. So, I am sure he knows how to manage the contracted players. Now Nick (Lee) recently joined the Indian women's team. He is again a very experienced S&C professional. Again, all these professionals are not only experienced, but they are knowledgeable and understanding of each and every player in their respective group is there. So, I think the trust and the coordination between the S&C and the players, as far as my knowledge is concerned, is going on. So, if you are saying something else, that's news to me, Laxman asserted. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia addressed questions regarding fan access for domestic fixtures held at the state-of-the-art campus, citing government land allocation rules that restrict spectator crowds on site. The CoE is set to host the season-opening Duleep Trophy from August 23. There are some restrictions when this land was allocated here that we cannot have crowd in this campus. So that is a government restriction. We cannot violate that. But very close persons of the team members, they can come. But this year, we have increased the number of matches to be telecasted live.

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
