Top players who completed a 13-day fitness program will have a full body checkup, including a blood test, when the Indian cricket team gathers for a training camp at Alur, Bangalore, beginning on Thursday in preparation for the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, SuryaKumar Yadav will all go through rigid tests.
The 13-day schedule was given to players who had just returned from the West Indies trip and were not participating in the current three-match T20 series against Ireland.
All-rounders Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, quick bowlers Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, as well as captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, are included in this group.
The workout regimen, which was to be followed from August 9–22, was split into two sections with a rest day in between. It is intended to prevent an injury that could end India’s World Cup campaign and was created to keep every player in the greatest condition possible.
