Currently, there are multiple cricketers, including Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Harshit Rana, and many others, who are under the radar of the board mostly because of their fitness-related issues. When they will be able to make their returns for the national side remains unknown even after weeks. Ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, BCCI, CoE, and the team management, all of the concerned parties related directly to the Indian cricket team, want to double down on the players' fitness before reintroducing them at the top level of the game.
"Not just 100 percent, but they want to be 200 percent confident about a player’s availability before releasing him,” the source informed the media house.
The injury of Harshit Rana was a lesson for the Indian cricket team
VVS Laxman, the head of BCCI's Center of Excellence, expressed in a recent media interaction that players are the best to know about their own physical conditions. Decisions about players' conditions will be taken only through a smooth communication process.
VVS Laxman explains why BCCI names injured players in squads
In recent times, the BCCI announces the squads with the players whose fitness remains a concern. Cricket fans questioned if a particular player is injured, then why does the board include the player in the team? In response, VVS Laxman explained that the selectors want to confirm the best possible squad first, then the final decision is taken based on the current status of the players.
"At the end of the selection, whether it's a release to the press, it's clearly mentioned that these players are picked subject to fitness. Means if they don't clear the fitness test, the selectors will know who the other players are who will go in their place if they don't clear the fitness test. I mean, it's basic common sense," Laxman added.
