A big relief news has come for the Indian cricket team. Shubman Gill has been declared completely fit. There was uncertainty among the team management and fans regarding his fitness for some time, but now BCCI’s Center of Excellence (COE) has confirmed that Gill has passed the fitness test.
Gill ready to take the field
It is believed that he is ready to take the field in the five-match T20 series against South Africa. According to the report, media officials associated with the board said that Gill has not only completed his rehabilitation completely, but has also been successful on all parameters related to fitness and performance.
Gill’s recovery phase was tracked continuously and very carefully. Experts believe that his fitness has reached a level where he can make a comeback in international matches without any doubt. When Team India was announced a few days ago for the T20 series, Gill’s name was included in the squad. However, BCCI had made it clear at the same time that his final selection would depend on passing the fitness test. If he had not been successful in the test, another player could have been included in his place.
Full fitness approval will be officially given soon
It is expected that he will soon get official approval for full fitness from the COE. The Department of Sports Science and Medicine is also preparing to give the green signal to them. The five-match T20 series starting from December 9 is considered very important for Shubman Gill. During the Australia tour, he was given the responsibility of captaining the ODI team and was elected vice-captain for the T20 team.
This series against South Africa will prove to be a test of both his leadership and batting. The T20 World Cup to be held in February-March next year is also a big target for Team India. In such a situation, Gill’s return fully fit is very important for the team’s plans. His presence is expected to increase stability and confidence in the team’s batting.
