BCCI working like a well-oiled engine, says Saikia
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has dismissed concerns regarding internal coordination issues within the Indian cricket board. He stated that all wings are working cohesively and announced plans to adjust the Future Tours Programme to ensure better player rest.
Why it matters
The management of player health and scheduling is vital for the performance of national sports teams in high-stakes international tournaments.
Frequent injury breakdowns, delayed player recoveries and absence of a sports medicine head for almost 18 months seem to have created an impression that the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s Centre of Excellence is not on the same page as the men’s team management and the selection committee.
However, after key stakeholders deliberated the issues threadbare for almost two hours, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia insisted that all the pillars of Indian cricket are on the same page.
“Everybody is on the same page. The BCCI is working like a well-oiled engine. There is proper coordination among all the wings of the BCCI, whether it is the women’s team committees, their technical staff and coaches, the COE, the Indian men’s team coaching staff or the head coach,” Saikia said here on Thursday.
