India’s ongoing player injury crisis is prompting questions about the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence and the board’s ability to recruit top medical professionals. Ex-cricketer Mohammad Kaif says he is “surprised” by the difficulty the board faces in securing suitable hires as injuries disrupt squad preparation ahead of important matches.
VVS Laxman also comments on recruitment challenges, saying prospective appointments face last-minute obstacles. Both former players point to the timing of the issue, given the immediate pressure of upcoming fixtures, and raise the concern that the board’s resources should make it easier to attract highly qualified staff. While the reports focus on the recruitment problem itself, they do not provide specific details on the vacancies, the candidates involved, or the reasons behind the delays.
