This will be Le Roux\u2019s 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\u2019s recent departure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"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\u2019m incredibly proud of the team, the way we prepared, the way we played and how we fought right to the end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhat a journey it\u2019s 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\u2019s easy to get caught up in the results.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut every now and then you pause and realise that while it\u2019s about performance and pressure it\u2019s also about people, shared moments and friendships that will last a lifetime. As I step into a new role with @indiancricketteam I\u2019ll carry these memories with me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"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,\u201d wrote Le Roux on his Instagram account on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A qualified sports scientist from Cape Town, Le Roux carries a strong reputation of being the best in the business. He had been the strength and conditioning coach of South Africa men\u2019s team from June 2003 to August 2007. He also served as the lead strength and conditioning coach in structures within Cricket South Africa from May 2018 to June 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from being in the Punjab Kings set-up for six years, Le Roux had been the strength and conditioning coach of Kolkata Knight Riders from January 2008 to December 2019, a phase where the side won IPL trophies in 2012 and 2014 under current India head coach Gautam Gambhir\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Le Roux\u2019s first assignment on his second stint with the Indian team will be the upcoming five-match Test tour of England, starting on June 20 in Leeds. The Shubman Gill-led side will play Tests at Edgbaston, Lord's and Old Trafford, before ending the series at The Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
