Reports suggest that Kohli requested special approval from the BCCI to take his fitness test in the United Kingdom. Agarkar revealed that both players had successfully completed the fitness test The former India pacer emphasized that both players had successfully completed the required fitness tests and fulfilled the standards necessary for selection. I think theyve both done their fitness tests or the fitness norms that have been suggested. Again I wish Adrian was here or somebody from the team was there. As far as I know or the selectors know theyve gone through the required norms that have been put in place. So I havent heard anything other than that. And generally before selection we give names out to the COE who tells us about the fitness status of all the players. And everyone whos been picked has been declared fit and available said Agarkar. Thats the format they (Virat and Rohit) are at the moment playing we picked them as far as the 2027 World Cup is concerned. I dont think we need to talk about it today. Obviously with the captaincy change thats generally the thought he added.
