By Kushan Sarkar Verified| ThePrint Verified The new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of the BCCI has capped the support staff’s tenure at three years. It is learnt that India’s first ever Strength and Conditioning coach Adrian Le Roux is likely to return for a second stint. The South African is widely credited for ushering in a new fitness culture in the then Sourav Ganguly-led Indian team during the 2003 World Cup. When BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia was contacted by the PTI, he neither confirmed nor denied the development.
By Kushan Sarkar Verified| ThePrint Verified A former BCCI umpire, who has officiated in more than 100 IPL games and many international matches, also expressed his surprise at the development. “The umpires keep a house-shaped bat gauge. If the bat passes through that gauge, it is deemed acceptable. We have all performed bat checks before the start of the innings inside the dressing room. The players handover their willows and the check is done,” a former umpire told PTI conditions of anonymity.
