India's emerging off-spinners got a boost at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, where Indian veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh led a specialised training camp on Thursday. This camp aimed to hone the skills of young off-spinners under the high-performance monitoring programme, focusing on technical skills, mental toughness, and physical conditioning.

"One of India's greatest spinners, Mr Harbhajan Singh, worked with the off spinners from the High Performance monitoring group and the Emerging Off Spinners at the BCCI Centre of Excellence," BCCI wrote in an X post. "From technical knowledge to tactical planning, the sessions were enriching for the participants who gained perspectives from the legend himself on various aspects that were covered through simulating scenarios and conditions," the post further added.
