The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently introduced the ‘Bronco Test.’ The fitness assessment test was brought out after several players, primarily fast bowler, had issues relating to fitness. The objective behind was to maintain high-level of fitness and improve aerobic capacity of players.
BCCI forcefully retiring Rohit Sharma?
But former Indian batter Manoj Tiwary thinks that the BCCI introduced it to ensure Rohit Sharma announces his retirement from cricket before the ODI World Cup 2027.
“I think it will be very difficult to keep out Virat Kohli from the plans for 2027 World Cup. But I have a doubt that they are going to look at Rohit Sharma into the scheme of things because… See, I’m a very keen observer what things are going on in Indian cricket. And I believe this Bronco Test, which was introduced a few days back, I think it is for the players like Rohit Sharma and someone who I believe they don’t want them to be part of the team in future. And that’s why it has been introduced,” Manoj told CricTracker.
“And you know, Bronco Test will be one of the toughest fitness test parameters which has been introduced by the Indian cricket. But the only question is, why now? Why not when your new head coach got the assignment from the very first series? Whose idea is it? Who introduced this? Who enforced this Bronco Test a few days back? So it is a question for which I don’t have an answer, but the observation says that it is going to be difficult for Rohit Sharma if he doesn’t work really hard on his fitness. And I think he will be stopped at the Bronco Test,” he added.
“I think it has been brought in, obviously, to set the fitness parameter at the highest level, but also I believe it has been introduced to keep a few players out, as like what happened when our Indian great legends like Gambhir, Sehwag, and Yuvraj, and others were doing really well. And after we became champions in 2011, the yo-yo test came into the forefront. So a lot of things that go behind the same. And this is my observation. Let’s see what happens. The future will definitely give me answers,” Tiwary concluded.
