It left many within the LSG camp “amazed”.So is it really wrong? Was it a control board for cricket at (BCCI) Center of Excellence (COE) or frustration by the franchise, when he remained a field of worry for fast bowling, his Rs 11 crore was returned to the field? This can be attributed to the mixture of both and shows from a well -placed source Mayank Back to competitive cricket.The rehabilitation of the young man was overseen Sports Science And medical Nitin Patel but when he left his role on 31 March, Dhananjay Kaushik, currently the major physiotherapist in Koa took over.

“For a bowler, who was such a long absence from the game, it is surprising that the COE took only 10-12 sessions to give him a green sign. One-third of those sessions were at a low intensity and he started bowling at just 80–85% in the end of March,” a source told Timesophidia.com.“You only get a true picture when you work on full inclination and then take enough time to assess how the body is responding to the increased charge. It is gradually witnessing that charge and extended to assess how the body is reacting to different levels of intensity. With Mayank, it seemed that the boxes were tickled, called the source.It is further understood that when Mayank joined the LSG camp, there was a mark of swelling in his back and continued to make it easy in the nets. A lot of taping was done on the body to avoid sudden cramps – something that is common when a bowler returns to action after a long trimmed. The speed meter continued to remind that Mayank was not close to peak fitness as he dropped at a rate of at least 10 km per hour at its previous average speed and chosen for variations – slow and cutter.“It is surprising why his action has not been addressed yet. His body has been falling towards the side after landing and this effect will continue to add tension in his back. It is like a car that is running at a speed of 150 km per hour and is suddenly turning the left. The speed that he produces is that the natural governing of any kind of bouling.
The LSG management discussed with Mayank a few days ago and it is revealed where it was decided to release it. A source close to the development revealed that the young man was asked about the dip in the speed and why he is not bowling much during the non-match days to stay in the rhythm.“There was a discussion in LSG about this. Mayank was asked about his decline in speed and non-match-day activities. He told him that he was giving his best, but not able to go beyond and for non-matching day workload, he informed him about his routine which has been going on since rehabilitation in Koa.

Was the decision to release Mayank Yadav appropriate?
Mayank is not your regular bowler because very few people in the country have disturbed 150 kmph mark. BCCI clearly felt the need to wrap them when he was awarded the contract for fast bowlers and he stayed on the selectors’ radar. The current situation, however, does not portray a good picture as its rehabilitation and returned to cricket, which raises relevant questions at the coa. The role of the franchise is secondary here as it was the Indian Cricket Board which needed to ensure complete recovery and welfare of his bowler.
