The Story in Brief
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia will meet VVS Laxman on Sunday to review the injury management programme at the Centre of Excellence (COE), as 13 current or prospective India players undergo rehabilitation. The meeting follows concerns over the COE's rehab system and communication with selectors. Injured players include Jasprit Bumrah (knee swelling), B Sai Sudharsan (toe), Harshit Rana (hamstring), Nitish Kumar Reddy (hamstring), and Washington Sundar (quadriceps). The sports science team at the COE is reportedly overworked after Nitin Patel's resignation.
The Indian Opinion
The panic over Indian cricket injuries feels overblown. Every team has players recovering. Yet the board calls a special meeting, feeding the narrative that the system is broken. The real test is not the meeting but whether injured stars like Bumrah return fit for major series. Watch how many of the 13 rehabbing players actually play in the next five months.
