New Delhi: Adrian Le Roux has announced that he will be joining the India men’s cricket team as their new strength and conditioning coach after ending his stint with Punjab Kings, who finished as runners-up of IPL 2025.
This will be Le Roux’s second stint with the Indian team after being their strength and conditioning coach from January 2002 to May 2003. He now steps in to the role in the Indian team, which was left vacant after Soham Desai’s recent departure.
“And with that a 6-year journey with the @punjabkingsipl comes to an end. Went all the way to the final this season. Fell just short, and yes that really hurt. But I’m incredibly proud of the team, the way we prepared, the way we played and how we fought right to the end.
“What a journey it’s been. To the team, owners, management, coaches, players and my colleagues in the sport science and medical team a huge thank you! In the fast-moving world of professional sport it’s easy to get caught up in the results.”
“But every now and then you pause and realise that while it’s about performance and pressure it’s also about people, shared moments and friendships that will last a lifetime. As I step into a new role with @indiancricketteam I’ll carry these memories with me.
“I’ve had the privilege to work with some incredible people and some of the most talented cricketers in the game. Punjab Kings are in a good place and in good hands. That makes me happy. Until we meet again,” wrote Le Roux on his Instagram account on Thursday. IANS
