Dr. Kamlesh Jain is the Indian men’s cricket team physio currently.
According to reports, the BCCI instructed Indian men's cricket team physio Kamlesh Jain to disclose any fitness issues that do not satisfy him rather than worrying about a player's status.
Kamlesh, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, reportedly questioned Kamlesh after a recent wave of injuries following a recent wave of injuries that frequently left the team without its top players.
Senior players are given "comfortable targets" to guarantee they pass fitness tests, according to a story in The Times of India, suggesting that various fitness standards apply to different players.
The Bronco test has taken the place of the Yo-Yo test as the main benchmark for assessing a player's fitness since strength and conditioning coach Adrian Lereoux took over.
“The Indian players are not used to the Bronco test. Over the last year, the CoE had set different base parameters for players. It has now emerged that certain senior players were given much more comfortable targets to meet to clear fitness tests.
"The CoE staff had also cleared players like Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy to ensure that the selection process aligned with the team management’s needs," a BCCI source told the Times of India.
There has been concern over the mobility of some players. In addition, senior batters have been seen struggling to maintain a running pace between the wickets when they spend a lot of time at the crease.
“Kamlesh has been told that he shouldn’t worry about any player’s stature and flag anything that he doesn’t find satisfactory. It has been observed that the mobility of some players on the field has been questionable. Senior batters are struggling to push their running between the wickets as they bat longer. The number of slow fielders has increased," the source said.
The article further stated that players are "caught off guard by the program given to them at CoE" and that India's Test regulars are unfamiliar with the new fitness exercises.
