BCCI Centre of Excellence Faces Leadership Gaps Amid Injury Concerns, Laxman Comments
The BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru faces challenges including the absence of a permanent Sports Science head since March 2024, with interim leadership managing player rehabilitation amid injury concerns. VVS Laxman, CoE head, explained delays in filling the position due to candidate withdrawals and emphasized the CoE's role in player fitness and monitoring. Laxman also revealed he declined the Team India head coach role in 2023 for personal reasons and is currently not interested in the chief selector position, while BCCI officials review injury management strategies.
