BCCI secretary to visit Bengaluru amid Indian cricket team's injury crisis

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia is scheduled to visit the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru on August 8 to assess the ongoing injury crisis affecting the Indian National Team. The visit follows a significant number of injuries, including players like Jasprit Bumrah and B Sai Sudharsan, who are currently sidelined. Saikia will meet with Head of Cricket VVS Laxman to review the injury management protocols in place at the facility. The situation has raised concerns over the effectiveness of current rehabilitation practices, especially with no permanent head of sports science since early 2025. This meeting aims to address these issues and may lead to potential changes in the rehabilitation processes moving forward.
