Top‑Level Players Must Accept Higher Injury Risk, COO Explains

Lakshman emphasized that when athletes compete at the highest level, they must give more than 100 % and accept the possibility of injury. He warned that trying to avoid injuries altogether would mean not playing at full capacity. "The question is not whether injuries will happen, but how we view them," he said. The COO highlighted that a robust monitoring system is essential, noting that players like Adrian, Nick, Kamlesh and Rahi routinely face physical setbacks as part of international cricket’s intensity.
