Overview

• Multiple senior players, including Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur, checked in at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for routine assessments and the Yo‑Yo test.
• The CoE evaluations—covering Yo‑Yo, Dexa scans and blood work—are compulsory for centrally contracted players and inform selection and individual training plans.
• Reports conflict on Rohit Sharma’s precise schedule and test slate, with some outlets citing his presence today and others noting a September 13 assessment that could include the new Bronco test, which Indian Express says is planned for later in the season.
• Virat Kohli has not yet been sighted at the CoE, and there is no public clarity on when his mandatory assessment will take place.
• The testing window is being linked to possible India A outings against Australia A in late September and preparation for India’s ODI series in Australia beginning October 19 in Perth.
