VVS Laxman defended the Centre of Excellence, saying it is not just a rehab centre, amid India’s injury crisis on 2026-08-09.
He said the facility emphasizes player monitoring and continuous assessment rather than assigning blame, and uses multiple parameters to assess fitness before selection.
Laxman added that injuries are an unavoidable part of a cricketer's demanding career and that communication between the Centre and team management remains seamless.
