PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Sport nutrition, injury prevention, and anti-doping are just a few of the topics to be discussed, when the West Indies Players Association holds a medical and health workshop today.
The workshop is part of WIPA’s Action Plan to help with the development of the sport in the region.
“As part of its on-going action plan, the WIPA Board on December 7 last year, approved a team of professionally qualified experts to continuously look at the developmental aspect of cricket throughout the region, which includes (but is not limited to) educational training, nutrition, technical skill, human resources, and fitness,” stated a WIPA media release.
“This committee’s mandate will also be to carry out an audit of the current structure of cricket as well as the development programmes that currently exist in each territory and consult with the territorial boards and other key stakeholders, after which it will be asked to make recommendations on the best way forward consistent with international standards and best practices.”
