Indian players undergo fitness tests at CoE ahead of Sri Lanka Tests

Nearly a dozen Indian cricketers, including Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, and Hardik Pandya, are set to undergo mandatory fitness assessments at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. This gathering is in preparation for the upcoming Test tour of Sri Lanka next month. The BCCI aims to address player fitness concerns, particularly after a history of injuries affecting performance. The assessments will be crucial as selectors prepare to finalize the squad for the two-match series following evaluations at the Duleep Trophy. A wide pool of fit players is especially important given the packed schedule leading into the 2027 World Cup.
