BCCI Tells Test Hopefuls to Ramp Up Workload Ahead of Afghanistan One-Off Test
The Afghanistan one-off Test is coming. And BCCI has a message for anyone with eyes on that squad: start building your workload now.
The board has communicated through selectors and the National Cricket Academy that fringe players and Test hopefuls need to be match-ready — not just ticking over, but genuinely putting in the overs and the runs that make selectors notice. A one-off Test means a tight squad. Every spot is competitive.
India’s Test calendar is demanding. The Afghanistan fixture is a chance for players outside the regular eleven to press their case — but only if they arrive in proper rhythm. The BCCI isn’t interested in players who’ve been coasting through IPL without bowling or batting enough.
Domestic performers who’ve been on the radar know what this means. The selectors are watching. The window is narrow. Get the workload in now.
