Indian pace sensation Mayank Yadav is nearing full bowling fitness after a year-long recovery from a lower back stress fracture. A BCCI official stated Yadav is bowling at 90 percent intensity with an 18-over weekly workload, showing improved strength and conditioning. He is expected to reach 100 percent intensity and high-intensity fielding activities in the coming weeks. Yadav, who impressed in IPL 2024 and played for India, had his 2025 season limited to two games due to injury.
