The BCCI Centre of Excellence (erstwhile NCA) was left severely embarrassed after India’s quickest bowler Mayank Yadav suffered yet one more breakdown as a again harm dominated him out of the rest of the IPL. “Yadav sustained a back injury and is ruled out for the remainder of the season,” the IPL media launch said. New Zealand’s William O Rourke will exchange him in Lucknow Super Giants for the remainder of the match. Mayank, who made a comeback after six months of intense rehabilitation beneath the Sports Science and Medical staff on the COE, performed two matches and gave away 100 runs in eight overs taking simply two wickets. His velocity had dropped by at the least 15 kmph and from a side-on bowler, he had develop into a chest-on operator after re-modelling his motion.
For the report, Mayank has performed 9 T20 video games between March 30, 2024 and May 4, 2025, which is exactly 13 months and 4 days.
In these 9 video games, he performed 4 T20s for Lucknow final yr when he burst into the scene hitting velocity weapons at mid 150 clicks persistently.
However, his first breakdown occurred in April that yr and he was out for six months earlier than getting fast-tracked by Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir into India’s T20I staff for the Bangladesh collection.
By the time the collection ended, his again harm resurfaced and he missed the entire home season doing rehabilitation on the NCA after which newly constructed COE.
“Now that Nitin Patel has left, you don’t know who should one ask about what exactly has been Mayank’s line of rehabilitation. Also the next question that needs to be asked is whether he was prematurely given the fit certificate without ensuring that his back injury could resurface within two games? You can call it COE or whatever but the timeline of Mayank Yadav and Umran Malik‘s injury rehab leaves a lot to be desired,” a widely known Strength and Conditioning coach, who had labored on the previous NCA advised PTI on circumstances of anonymity.
While Mayank is simply 22 and years of cricket left forward of him, this fixed breakdowns will definitely make the choice committee lose confidence in him after some extent.
He has a BCCI tempo bowler’s contract and has been beneath the board’s aegis for a yr now however recurrent accidents would possibly require session from abroad specialists with COE utterly discovered wanting.
