Why CoE can’t find sports science head: ‘Full-time job, relocating to Bengaluru’
Since the departure of Nitin Patel from the Centre of Excellence (CoE), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been actively searching for a new sports science head to oversee injury management. Despite conducting three interviews, the board faced the same issue of candidates backing out at the last moment. VVS Laxman, the CoE head, highlighted the critical role of a full-time sports medicine head in maintaining the team's fitness and ensuring excellence.
The absence of such a head has made it challenging to find a suitable candidate, especially considering the mounting injury crisis faced by Indian cricketers.
