BCCI Tightens Fitness Rules, Tough Bronco Test for All Players

The Indian cricket team is not playing very well right now.

After they won a big tournament called the T20 World Cup in 2026, they started losing many matches.

They went to the United Kingdom and lost both short cricket games in a two-match series.

Then they lost more games against England in other series.

Some of the best players also got hurt before and during these matches.

The people who run Indian cricket, called the BCCI, are worried about this.

So they made new rules to check how fit every player really is.

Even the senior and famous players cannot get any special treatment.

Every player now has to pass a hard running fitness test called the Bronco test.

The BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru will run these stricter tests to make sure everyone is ready to play.
