Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said that when the trainers change, the testing mechanism changes, adding that the reported introduction of the Bronco test might put the cricketers through a lot of difficulty and might also lead to injuries.<\/p>\n

With the Bronco test now in place, the <\/span>YoYo<\/span> test is no longer the only benchmark for measuring fitness.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is worth noting that the Bronco test is designed to assess aerobic endurance and challenge a player\u2019s cardiovascular capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adrian le Roux, who replaced Soham Desai as strength and conditioning coach, has requested the pacers to focus on increasing their running workload instead of relying just on gym-based training. <\/span>Only Mohammed Siraj featured in all five games of the England series, raising questions over the fitness of the other pacers.<\/span><\/p>\n

On his YouTube channel Ash ki Baat<\/em>, Ashwin<\/a> explained that cricketers face added challenges when trainers change and introduce their own methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have always asked the trainers. When the trainers change, the testing mechanism changes. The trainer changes, the training schemes change. When this happens, players go through a lot of difficulty,” Ashwin said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a player, if you keep changing training schemes, it is virtually very difficult for the players. In many cases, it could also lead to injuries. I am not denying that, it has led to injuries,” Ashwin added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom 2017 to 2019, I was searching for my training scheme. I have endured this. Soham Desai knows all about this,” Ashwin said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bronco test, used in rugby and football, assesses a player\u2019s aerobic endurance and recovery capacity. <\/span>The test needs to be completed with five shuttle runs of 20\u202fm, 40\u202fm and 60\u202fm each, without breaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Completing all five sets covers a total of 1,200\u202fm, with the time recorded<\/span>; <\/span>faster times reflect higher fitness levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to raise some questions. As a player, the problem is one of continuity. I would really like some continuity. It is important to give that. I would just want that whenever a new trainer comes in, he should work with the outgoing trainer for six months to one year to give the handover,” Ashwin said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
