6 Oct
Summary
- VVS Laxman will attend all men's selection committee meetings henceforth.
- His presence aims to prevent miscommunication regarding player fitness.
- This decision follows reports of mistrust between the CoE and the board.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that VVS Laxman, the head of the Centre of Excellence (CoE), will regularly attend men's selection committee meetings. This strategic inclusion is intended to eliminate any potential miscommunication regarding player fitness between the CoE and the selection panel.
This clarification comes after rumors circulated on social media regarding Laxman's presence at a recent meeting in Guwahati. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia stated that the decision was made following a review meeting in Mumbai, emphasizing that Laxman's intimate knowledge of player injuries is vital for preventing misunderstandings.
The move also addresses previous reports suggesting a lack of trust and potential conflict between the BCCI and the CoE. By ensuring Laxman's direct involvement, the board aims to foster better collaboration and accurate player assessments, particularly in light of past issues with player injuries.
