Sunil Gavaskar Defends BCCI Centre of Excellence Amid Player Injury Concerns
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar defended the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) amid criticism over recurring injuries to players like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. He attributed the injuries, particularly hamstring issues, to players' training routines rather than the CoE's rehabilitation processes. Gavaskar questioned the emphasis on gym fitness over match fitness and criticized the biomechanics approach limiting bowlers' practice deliveries. His views align with recent defenses of the CoE by BCCI officials, calling for a review of training methods to address injury concerns.
