Former India batter VVS Laxman addresses concerns about an India player’s repeated injury setbacks, saying the support system extends beyond physical rehabilitation. He explains that the mental aspect of players undergoing rehab or managing injuries is handled through India’s Centre of Excellence (COE) framework.
The outlet reports Laxman’s remarks in a context where discussions often focus on specific high-profile fast-bowling absences. NDTV frames his comments as clarifying the approach rather than attributing the issue to any single player or name, with the mention that his comments are “not” about Jasprit Bumrah. The emphasis is on how the mental and professional support structures operate during periods of injury.
While the report centers on Laxman’s statement about COE responsibilities, it does not provide detailed medical specifics, timelines, or confirmation of an exact injury diagnosis. Instead, it highlights the institutional role of the COE in helping players cope during treatment and return to play.
