Tilak Varma moves closer to return with BCCI fitness check
India batter Tilak Varma is edging closer to full fitness after reporting to the BCCI Centre of Excellence on Tuesday for medical assessment. The T20I No.3 is recovering from injury as India prepare for upcoming fixtures against New Zealand.
Team sources said Varma has responded well to rehabilitation and will undergo further fitness tests to determine his readiness. “He is progressing as planned,” a BCCI official noted.
The 21-year-old has been a key part of India’s T20 setup, and selectors are monitoring his recovery closely. A return to full training could put Varma back in contention for selection in the near future.
