The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday provided a medical and fitness update on five key India players currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
The BCCI has reported positive news on five stars players who are missing from action.
Fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna, are in the final stages of their rehab and are bowling with full intensity in the nets. The duo will now play some practice games, which the NCA will organise. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will make a final decision after assessing them following the practice games.
On the other hand, batters KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, have resumed batting in the nets and are currently undergoing strength and fitness drills. The BCCI Medical Team is satisfied with their progress and will increase their intensity in terms of both skills and strength and conditioning in the coming days.
This apart, Rishabh Pant has made significant progress in his rehabilitation and has commenced batting as well as keeping in the nets. He is currently following a fitness programme designed for him which includes strength, flexibility and running, the BCCI said.
India have a busy upcoming schedule with a tour of Ireland next month followed by the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka before the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at home.
