Conditioning for modern cricket<\/p>\n

Le Roux, who previously worked with Team India in the early 2000s, pointed out how the game has changed over the past two decades. With cricket now being played almost year-round, he stressed the need for players to stay in peak physical condition to deliver consistently.<\/p>\n

\u201cCricket is a game of skill, and our job is to complement that skill. We help players prolong their careers. If you\u2019re physically prepared, you can play more seasons. The systems we put in place also minimise the risk of injuries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Positive start in England<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his first assignment since returning, Le Roux called India\u2019s recent tour of England \u201cexciting.\u201d Under Shubman Gill\u2019s leadership, a young Indian side managed to level the Test series 2-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work ethic of the players really impressed me. The fight they showed made me proud. I\u2019ve worked with many of them in the IPL, so while it\u2019s a new team, there\u2019s already some history here,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
