The BCCI is standardizing fitness benchmarks at the Bengaluru Centre of Excellence after recurring injuries and inconsistent testing methods affected player availability.
New protocols require players to clear two Bronco tests on separate days, with weight limits set at 95kg for players like Harshit Rana.
The overhaul follows the injury of Jasprit Bumrah and concerns regarding the fitness of senior players, leading to stricter workload management and return-to-play rules.
