National Coach Accreditation BoardSports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya informed the Rajya Sabha that recommendations from the Pullela Gopichand-led Task Force on revamping India's coaching ecosystem would be implemented in a phased manner. The initial steps include the establishment of the National Coach Accreditation Board (NCAB) along with finalization of a unified curriculum. The nine-member Task Force, headed by national badminton coach Gopichand, had identified India's coaching ecosystem as fragmented, inconsistent, and heavily reliant on individual effort rather than institutional strength. Their 43-page report suggested several remedies to fix a system designed decades ago that 'cannot deliver the scale, quality, and speed required today' for achieving international excellence. Following the NCAB establishment, the rollout of licensing and tiered pathways for coaches will be implemented in subsequent phases.

Hussain emphasized that 'the only question all sides ask for is consistency' and that Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India must be treated equally under the rules. He also warned that cricket was 'risking shooting itself in the foot' if politics continued to dominate decisions in world cricket.
