New Delhi, March 29 – The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Sunday that it conducted a comprehensive fielding coaches workshop at its Centre of Excellence (CoE) facility in Bengaluru.
The program combined classroom sessions and on-field modules, offering participating coaches a comprehensive understanding of modern fielding techniques from both technical and tactical perspectives.
“Here is a summary from the Fielding Coaches' Workshop held at the BCCI CoE. The sessions included classroom and on-field modules. The participants had the opportunity to enhance their skills by learning from some of the top fielding professionals who conducted the modules,” the BCCI wrote on its ‘X’ account.
The BCCI also posted pictures of BCCI cricket head VVS Laxman, current India men's team fielding coach T Dilip, women's team fielding coach Munish Bali, and U19 Men's World Cup winning team fielding coach Shubhadeep Ghosh addressing the participants in the workshop.
Earlier this month, former India left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh conducted specialist camps at the CoE. The three-day Zaheer-led high-performance camp, held at the beginning of March, was for fast bowlers who played at India A and U19 levels, and focused on preparing for red-ball cricket.
The Harbhajan-led camp, which took place last week, was focused on honing skills and sharing tactical insights with the pool of off-spinners in the country. Mumbai's off-spin all-rounder Tanush Kotian, his teammate Himanshu Singh, and Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Saransh Jain were part of the specialized camp led by Harbhajan.
Zaheer was part of the Indian team that won the 2002 Champions Trophy (jointly with Sri Lanka) and the 2011 ODI World Cup, where he was also one of the joint-highest wicket-takers. Harbhajan, meanwhile, was a member of the Indian team that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 World Cup.
