India’s national squad has begun a demanding fitness assessment at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, aiming to fine‑tune conditioning ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
The Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru has opened its doors to the India squad, where players are undergoing a series of endurance drills, speed tests and strength assessments. The program, designed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), focuses on building stamina and reducing injury risk before the team's next tour.
Coaches and physiotherapists will monitor performance metrics, adjusting training loads to meet individual needs. Players are expected to complete the full regimen over the next week, with results feeding into selection decisions.
Officials say the rigorous schedule reflects a broader push to raise fitness standards across the national side. The assessment will also serve as a benchmark for future training camps.
