BCCI to Standardize Fitness Tests After England Tour Debacle

The BCCI announced on August 6, 2026, that it will standardize Bronco and 2K fitness tests for all national players following poor performance on the England tour.

The decision comes after team physios were questioned regarding a perceived dip in fitness standards that allegedly contributed to recent injury setbacks for key bowlers.

The new protocols will be mandatory for all centrally contracted players, with strict adherence required to maintain eligibility for upcoming Test series.
