India's Centrally-Contracted Cricketers Undergo Mandatory Fitness Tests Ahead of Home Season
India's centrally-contracted cricketers reported at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for mandatory pre-season fitness tests less than 48 hours after completing a two-Test series in Sri Lanka. The assessments included the Bronco Test, 2k run, Yo-Yo test, and cricket-specific drills. Key players like Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal participated, while injured players such as Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya are undergoing rehabilitation. This fitness evaluation prepares the team for a demanding eight-month home season starting in September, including T20Is, the Asian Games, and the 2027 IPL.
