BCCI President Sourav Ganguly clarified that the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah will undergo a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy. Earlier, it was reported that Bumrah and Rahul Dravid weren't convinced to have a test in the facility in Bengaluru. 

Denying the speculations, Ganguly stated that the Indian star pacer will have to go through the fitness test in NCA, like other cricketers. "I am not aware of the issue. But Indian players will have to go back to NCA and we will make sure it's comfortable and logistically easier," Ganguly told reporters at Kolkata.

Bumrah had joined India's net session at Vizag ahead of the second ODI against West Indies.

The reports related to Bumrah's fitness said Dravid doesn't want the speedster to have a fitness test at NCA. The reason was former cricketers vexed over Bumrah's decision to undergo rehabilitation under private trainers, ignoring NCA.

"NCA has to be the first and final point for International cricketers. It's a place for Indian cricketers. Everyone has to go through NCA. They play cricket all over the places year long. We will also try and see whether NCA physios can come and help Jasprit in Mumbai. We will keep monitoring under NCA. We want to make sure there are best people with NCA," he said.

Ganguly and Rahul are working together to make NCA better. They had recently met and discussed the future of the academy. "There's huge hope from Rahul. He's been a tremendous player. You will get perfection and commitment. We will sort it out," he said.

"We have given Dravid the charge at the NCA to get it more organized. Ultimately we will extend his role. I've spoken to him and the office-bearers. You will get to know the details in a week's time," he added.
