Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has shared his reaction to the Indian cricket team’s adoption of the Bronco Test as part of their new fitness regime, calling it “one of the worst” drills for players.
De Villiers explained that the test is particularly demanding on stamina, remarking, “Those lungs would burn while running it.” The Bronco Test involves repeated shuttle runs over set distances within a strict time frame, aimed at measuring endurance and speed.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently introduced the test to ensure players maintain peak fitness levels ahead of upcoming international tournaments. While de Villiers acknowledged its benefits, his comments reflect the physical intensity that cricketers must endure to pass.
The drill has sparked wide debate among fans and fitness experts, with many agreeing that it raises the bar for modern-day athletic conditioning in cricket.
