NCA to undergo major changes under Ganguly & Dravid
At the NCA's recent meeting which was attended by all the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) office-bearers in Mumbai, including President Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, the major agenda of it was the need for a medical panel. A top BCCI official told a leading news agency that the board will consult a London-based clinic, Fortius, for setting up its medical panel. He added that the position of the head of fast bowling, which has been lying vacant for a long time, will also be filled soon.
The official also said that the person will be in charge of setting up a fast bowling program at the NCA, much on the lines of the MRF Pace Academy in Chennai. He went on to say that the board will also hire a nutrition head for the NCA. The academy has mainly been in the news for all the wrong reasons and has been criticised for its lack of communication, hence a social media manager will also be coming on board to provide regular updates on the happenings inside the facility. The move could also go a long way in repairing NCA's reputation.
