• A BCCI official says pre‑season fitness testing is compulsory under central contracts to map players’ readiness for the new season.
• Individual scores are not disclosed under board policy; social media posts of a 19.4 Yo‑Yo score for Sharma have no official verification and leaks can attract sanctions.
• Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav also underwent checks ahead of the Asia Cup, and reports say the Bronco endurance test may be added to protocols later this season.
