India's Centrally Contracted Cricketers Undergo Pre-Season Fitness Tests at BCCI Centre
India's centrally contracted cricketers reported at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for mandatory pre-season fitness tests, including the Bronco, 2k run, and Yo-Yo tests, less than 48 hours after a demanding Sri Lanka series. Key players like Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer participated, while injured players such as Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya are undergoing rehabilitation. The fitness assessments prepare the team for a packed eight-month home season, including T20Is against Afghanistan and the 2026 Asian Games.
