VVS Laxman , head of the BCCI's Centre of Excellence, has quashed any talk of miscommunication between the CoE, team management and selectors over player management, while detailing the protocols they've set in stone. India will be without at least three first-choice players - Jasprit Bumrah, Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar - for the Test series in Sri Lanka . "There's a brilliant coordination between the COE, the team management of both the teams [men and women], the SSM [Sports Science & Medicine] staff and the selection committees, Laxman said. "The process is that the selector [chairperson] reaches out to the COE asking for the fitness status report [of players]. "So Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan were going to be picked for Sri Lanka subject to fitness clearance.
