India’s pace trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav has reported at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bangalore. The trio will undergo a fitness program.
The Hindu reported that the three pacers had reported to Ashish Kaushik, the NCA’s physiotherapist. There was a physical assessment that took place. This is being done with a view of the long season that is going to commence in a few months time.
In the recent past, we have seen numerous Indian pacers battle fitness issues. A need of a program was there and perhaps the board has taken this view with that in mind. India need the three to be fit in the months ahead. They had played a crucial role during the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 victory and have shown their value to the side.
