Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has shifted the ‘Brain Centre’ to the High-Performance Centre at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo, to further enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the facility.
According to an SLC statement, the facility was earlier housed at the SLC headquarters.
The newly established Brain Centre serves as a centralized hub for advanced cricket analytics, talent development, and coaching. The new facility will accommodate large groups of players and coaches for workshops, strategy sessions, and video analytical reviews.
SLC President Shammi Silva declared open the new facility recently, while Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa, Vice President of Sri Lanka Cricket, Mr. Sujeeva Godaliyadda, Treasurer of Sri Lanka Cricket, and Mr. Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket, were among the participants at the opening ceremony.
The move to reposition the Brain Centre at the High Performance Centre helps align the training facilities and technology at the same venue, thus enabling the players and coaches quick access to the ‘Brain Centre’ within their training premises itself.
The facility’s secure storage system allows players and coaches to access and analyze historical data, past performances, and trends, thus enabling them to prepare well for future competitions.
The repositioning will help SLC’s youth programs, as the youngsters can be exposed to cutting-edge team presentations when attending HPC or part of live-in performance camps.
Interactive whiteboards and access to match footage at an instance will help enhance player education at all levels of the game.
With the latest reposition, the Coach Education Unit will conduct “online” masterclasses and coaching workshops, the SLC statement added. (Newswire)
