SL SHOULD APPOINT LONG TERM CAPTAIN SAID BY SANGAKKARA

Sanagakkara SL ex -captain said now Srilanka will have to appoint the long term captain after resigning from captaincy he said that new captain of the national side will be appoint on the long term basis
who ever it be the team and the other members will have to support them 100 % ..
Either it will be Dilshan or Angelo .our all team members have this responsibility to support them in fine manner is the team management think that Angelo is quite young so the Dilshan is the best choice for this because he have the loads of experience in him as the international player but Angelo is also very smart young guy who always have the new thing in his mind judge the situation extremely well ..

So if any of them appoint as the captain so management give them the full support so they have to appoint them as the long term so that is why team can be strong because by changing captains on regular basis always disturb your team combination..

On his resigning from captaincy he said he did not do any selfishness by resigning now it's some other chance new blood will have to give the opportunity ..

BCCI gets new software to keep track of players' injuries

VADODARA: India may have lifted the ICC World Cup and become world champions, but the injury problems in team's pace bowling department hasn't missed the eyes of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) management. Worried over the recurrent injury problems, the BCCI has bought special software 'Injury Profiler' to keep track of the players' injuries at both international and first-class level.

"We play cricket round the year and so the players are bound to suffer from injuries. But, we hadn't recorded the types of injuries suffered by players and which are the most common injuries. This software will help us collect such data," said BCCI chief administrative officer (CAO) Prof Ratnakar Shetty.

"The software will be provided to all the associations wherein the coaches will give feedback about the nature of injuries faced by the players. The data will be compiled and then we will study it. Once we know the kind of injuries and it's frequency we will be able to find out correct solution and give proper rehab," Shetty told TOI during his visit to the city on Sunday.

"The cricket board will finalise the project by next month and data collection of injuries will begin after that. Team India physio Nitin Patel and NCA physio Ashwin Kaushik will handle the project. The idea is to monitor injuries of first-class players. The BCCI usually takes care of contracted players but there are hundreds of first-class players across the country who have potential of getting in Indian team. This project will help them get right kind of rehabilitation advice," Shetty added.

"Fast bowlers are more prone to injuries. Earlier, there were little facilities for the players but now all the modern facilities are available. Such software can help players in understanding their injuries better," said Baroda pacer Rakesh Patel.

"The cricket board can understand the players' injuries better and give proper treatment on time," Patel added.
