Even though the pacer is recovering after a stress fracture to his back, he will not be able to undergo the mandatory fitness test at the NCA in Bengaluru as per reports.
But BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has said that he will find out with Dravid as to why Bumrah’s fitness test will not be conducted at the NCA. Ganguly recently visited NCA and held discussions with his former vice-captain, who was appointed the head of NCA in July.
