To address injury concerns of players, we have created a structure where every state association will appoint a strength and conditioning coach and a sport science and sports medicine team..

Indian cricketers, particularly fast bowlers, have been plagued by injuries recently, with many of them spending the majority of last year at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.Shah also said that the Indian womens team will have a head coach appointed before they embark on the limited-overs tour of Bangladesh in July this year..
