The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday shared important medical and fitness updates on five top players, who are currently recovering at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The players include fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna, batters KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer along with wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. All five players are key elements in the Indian cricket plan, especially with the World Cup being hosted by India later this year.
“Mr. Jasprit Bumrah and Mr. Prasidh Krishna: The two fast bowlers are in the final stages of their rehabilitation and are bowling with full intensity into the nets. The duo will now play some exhibition matches, which will be organized by the NCA. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will make a final decision after assessing them after the exhibition matches,” the BCCI said in a press release.
“Mr. KL Rahul and Mr. Shreyas Iyer: They are back in the nets and are currently undergoing strength and fitness exercises. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will increase their intensity in terms of both skills and strength and conditioning in the coming days.”
The release also mentioned that Pant, who suffered a horrific car accident last year, has taken up beating and netting.
“Mr Rishabh Pant: He has made significant progress in his rehabilitation and has begun hitting and netting. He is currently on a fitness program designed for him that includes strength, flexibility and running,” the BCCI said in a release.
