Conversation with Nitish is....: CoE head VVS Laxman on injured all-rounder's rehab

VVS Laxman addressed player injuries and workload management at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. He emphasized understanding player rehabilitation and the mental aspects of recovery.

The Yo-Yo test is not used during series due to its demanding nature on players.
