# BCCI Plans Standardised Bronco and 2km Fitness Benchmarks 2026-08-06T13:49:32+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru is revising its fitness programme after injuries during recent international tours. The Times of India reported proposed Bronco targets of 5.15 to 5.20 minutes and 2km times of 9 to 10 minutes. NDTV also reported that the Board was working on baseline fitness parameters. The earlier Yo-Yo benchmark was reported as 16.5, later raised to 17.1 by Times Now News. The reports link the review to injuries involving Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah. Times of India cited unnamed sources for claims about differing targets, staff accountability and Rana’s weight. Times Now News quoted physio Deepak Sury, who described different Bronco and 2km standards. Its suggested Bronco range of 5.5 to 6 minutes differs from Times of India’s reported target. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - sports.ndtv.com - timesnownews.com Tags: BCCI, England tour, fitness tests, Indian cricket, player fitness Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bcci-plans-standard-bronco-and-2km-fitness-tests-after-england-tour/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
