Bronco Test introduced to keep Rohit Sharma out of ODI team? Ex-India star makes BIG claim
He questioned why such a harsh fitness criterion was suddenly introduced and implied that the failure of the Bronco test could endanger his place in the team before Rohit’s 2027 World Cup.
Former Indian cricket player Manoj Tiwary made a bold claim, claiming that the newly introduced Bronco test aimed at keeping Rohit Sharma away from the squad. Under the guidance of India’s Power and Condition Coach Adrian Le Roux, this Bronco test offers an additional layer of the current fitness criteria of Yo-Yo and 2-kilometer time trial.
In an interview with Crictracker, Tiwary said that the timing and purpose of this fitness test has created significant concerns, especially as it prepares for a transition period until the 2027 World Cup of India.
“It will be very difficult to keep Virat Kohli away from the 2027 World Cup plans. But I doubt that Rohit Sharma will look at the plan of things.” He said. “Look, I’m a very sharp observer on what’s going on in the Indian jack. And this Bronco test, introduced a few days ago, for players like Rohit Sharma.
Tiwary said that if Rohit does not increase fitness levels, he would fight to secure a place on ODI team. The former Bengal captain questioned the logic behind the timing of this new need.
“But the only Question is, where it? Answer, But the Observation to be Difficult for Rohit Sharma.
In addition, Tiwary compared this with previous cases in the Indian Cricket, when it was reported that fitness standards have removed senior players from the team.
“I think it appeared to adjust the fitness parameter at the highest level, but I believe it is introduced to keep a few players out, others are going really well. The future will definitely answer, Ti Tiwary said.
