The National Cricket Academy (NCA) has been critical in not only developing budding cricketers but also helping veteran cricketers in rehabilitation and working on skills. NCA has ensured a cut-throat competition among Indian cricketers and has also developed a strong bench strength which is second to none. India’s strong bench strength is evident from the fact that India had registered a historic Test series win in Australia last year and then had two different squads- full-strength in England for Test series and B team for the white-ball series against Sri Lanka in July.
