The Indian women’s cricket team is getting ready for a new, busy season that will get off in July with a limited-overs tour to Bangladesh and continue with home white-ball series against South Africa and New Zealand in September and October. Next, a comprehensive tour that includes tests on each side of the new year is scheduled for England and Australia. The senior women’s selection committee chose 30 “targeted players” for a demanding camp in Bengaluru in May. The Athlete Monitoring System (AMS) and Injury Prevention (IP) installation were the noteworthy features.

What is Athlete Monitoring System?
Using this software, injury risks may be reduced and performance can be increased by keeping track of tiredness, sleep, mood, menstrual cycle, and non-sport stresses. Data, workloads, previous injuries, rehabilitation cycles, and performance following injuries are all tracked. It has aided the National Cricket Academy in creating roadmaps specifically for each player to maintain the highest possible level of fitness.
The establishment of a core group of strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches for the women’s setup is a crucial milestone in this fitness transformation. The full-time addition of Anand Date has completely changed the situation. Date has worked with many men’s India A and age-group squads over the course of more than a decade, including under Rahul Dravid at the NCA. As part of her current duties, Date collaborates with a number of franchise S&Cs and other coaches that deal with women’s players to help keep consistency in observing fitness.
These advancements are not new. They have been used by teams in high-performance settings across all sports. It’s interesting because it’s being accepted in women’s cricket in India, beginning with the Women’s Premier League (WPL). The BCCI believes the measures they have made will help the team ultimately win that trophy since two major tournaments—the 2024 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh and the 2025 ODI World Cup in India—will take place within the following 24 months.
