VVS Laxman Outlines Vision for Cricket Excellence

Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja have collectively reached 1000 Test wickets, marking a significant achievement in Indian cricket, although they still trail behind the legendary Kumble-Harbhajan-Zaheer trio. Their recent performance in the Kanpur Test showcased their dominance, as they took 20 wickets in just over 121 overs, effectively dismantling the Bangladeshi batting lineup. Meanwhile, VVS Laxman, head of the newly established BCCI Centre of Excellence, expressed confidence in India's cricketing future, emphasizing the importance of player development and maintaining a 'supply chain' of talent. Under Laxman's leadership since 2021, the Centre aims to nurture both male and female cricketers, ensuring a robust pipeline for the next decade. The CoE offers state-of-the-art facilities, aiming to enhance player skills while respecting their natural gameplay. Laxman believes this approach will help India sustain its dominance across all formats of the game.
