BCCI working on rest protocols to reduce player injuries, says Saikia

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board is examining ways to give players more recovery time between series and tour matches.

Saikia described the current FTP cycle as a “well-oiled engine” but acknowledged that frequent injuries remain a concern. The board plans to adjust future FTP schedules to include longer gaps and fewer back-to-back bilateral series.

No specific timeline for the changes was announced.
