The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) introduces the Bronco Test to measure the fitness levels of their players who can represent Team India in the near future. Asia Cup 2025 is knocking on the door, but for Team India, the acid test can be during the ICC T20I World Cup in 2026.

Before that, the Men in Blue will have to face top cricketing nations like Australia and South Africa. In modern-day cricket, fitness plays a big role in every cricketer's career. There are some controversies around the Bronco Test, which BCCI already has initiated. As per the latest claims, Virat Kohli is the only player who completed his fitness test in England, while most players, including Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Mohammed Siraj, underwentthe process in Bengaluru. As per the latest information, most of the players have successfully met fitness parameters, and some of them might have completed only partial tests. It's worth mentioning that the first phase of the Bronco Test is based on recovery patterns and basic strength.

Another phase of the test is yet to be arranged, when cricketers who sustained injuries or are in rehab will undergo the process. KL Rahul, Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy, and Rishabh Pant can be the candidates to take part in the second phase.
