Find solution to avoid hobbling pace frontline
Cricketers suffering injuries is nothing new, especially fast bowlers. But over the past year-and-a-half, several pacers have spent time injured and in rehabilitation more than playing. Deep, who is doubtful for the Manchester Test, also missed the Sydney Test in January due to a back injury. An ageing Mohammed Shami is nowhere near full fitness; the other pace sensation Mayank Yadav has been in rehab for most of the last 18 months. This has left the team with little choice but to call Anshul Kamboj. As things are, it should not come as a surprise if he makes his Test debut on Wednesday ahead of the likes of Prasidh Krishna. One cannot help but wonder why so many pacers are getting injured. The cricket calendar is ever expanding and the top players are expected to play in all formats for the country. Even if India win at Manchester, they need to ponder whether to play Bumrah in the fifth and final Test. This brings the attention to the BCCI Centre of Excellence, where contracted players report after injury. Last year, the BCCI introduced an Athlete Monitoring System, which the centre uses to monitor the skills and fitness of every player who attends camps. These reports are available to the state associations to monitor the athletes' readiness against the workload. Yet, the injuries keep coming. Perhaps it's time for the BCCI to reassess their mechanism for monitoring— the earlier it's done, the better.

Gautam Gambhir Could Rejoin India Today, VVS Laxman Has 'No Official Role': Report
Gautam Gambhir's mother's health has improved in the last few hours and he is now reportedly certain to rejoin the India Test team before the first match of the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy at Headingley on June 20. According to Cricbuzz, the BCCI Centre of Excellence chief VVS Laxman, who has been seen with the team and is said to be 'working' on their preparations in Gambhir's absence, has 'no official role' and will leave soon. The report said Laxman was on a trip to Switzerland to attend a conference and detoured to England to meet the team — which was always part of his plan. The former India batter is said to have travelled from London to Lausanne and overseen the intra-squad game behind closed doors, the final preparatory game for the Test series. His work will be limited to discussions and experience sharing before he leaves in 'a day or two'.

BCCI Left Red-Faced After 156.7 Kmph Star Gets Ruled Out Of IPL After Injury Resurfaces For 3rd Time
The BCCI Centre of Excellence (erstwhile NCA) was left severely embarrassed after India's fastest bowler Mayank Yadav suffered yet another breakdown as a back injury ruled him out of the remainder of the IPL. "Yadav sustained a back injury and is ruled out for the remainder of the season," the IPL media release stated. New Zealand's William O Rourke will replace him in Lucknow Super Giants for the rest of the tournament. Mayank, who made a comeback after six months of intense rehabilitation under the Sports Science and Medical team at the COE, played two matches and gave away 100 runs in eight overs taking just two wickets. His speed had dropped by at least 15 kmph and from a side-on bowler, he had become a chest-on operator after re-modelling his action. For the record, Mayank has played nine T20 games between March 30, 2024 and May 4, 2025, which is precisely 13 months and four days. In these nine games, he played four T20s for Lucknow last year when he burst into the scene hitting speed guns at mid 150 clicks consistently. However, his first breakdown happened in April that year and he was out for six months before getting fast-tracked by Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir into India's T20I team for the Bangladesh series. By the time the series ended, his back injury resurfaced and he missed the whole domestic season doing rehabilitation at the NCA and then newly constructed COE. "Now that Nitin Patel has left, you don't know who should one ask about what exactly has been Mayank's line of rehabilitation. Also the next question that needs to be asked is whether he was prematurely given the fit certificate without ensuring that his back injury could resurface within two games? You can call it COE or whatever but the timeline of Mayank Yadav and Umran Malik 's injury rehab leaves a lot to be desired," a well-known Strength and Conditioning trainer, who had worked at the old NCA told PTI on conditions of anonymity. While Mayank is only 22 and years of cricket left ahead of him, this constant breakdowns will certainly make the selection committee lose confidence in him after a point. He has a BCCI pace bowler's contract and has been under the board's aegis for a year now but recurrent injuries might require consultation from overseas specialists with COE completely found wanting.
