Cricket News: NCA refuses to conduct Jasprit Bumrah’s mandatory fitness test

The BCCI's National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore has refused to conduct pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah's fitness test. The fast bowler was in Bangalore this week - after bowling in the nets with the Indian team in Visakhapatnam on December 16 - to undergo the mandatory fitness test ahead of a comeback. The concerned team at the NCA - led by director Rahul Dravid and physiotherapist Ashish Kaushik - "politely" told Bumrah that they would not be conducting the test. And in the latest update, the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that he will speak to Rahul Dravid on the matter.
