Shubman Gill's blood test report OUT, to reach BCCI's CoE this week for fitness test ahead of Asia Cup 2025- Reports

Shubman Gill is the vice-captain of India for Asia Cup 2025.

India T20I vice-captain Shubman Gill is expected to check in at the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Centre of Excellence (CoE) this week for fitness tests ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. According to reports by The Times of India, the test captain recently underwent blood tests, and his report came normal, which will be a big boost for the team.

Shubman Gill is going to complete his recovery soon. He is currently in Mohali and will reportedly miss the opening round of the Duleep Trophy 2025 due to illness.

The right-handed batsman was going to lead North Zone in the opening game. However, after his ouster, vice-captain Ankit Kumar will lead the side. Gill will now be gearing up for the Asia Cup 2025, which will commence on September 9.

Many Indian players have visited CoE for fitness tests

Notably, many contracted Indian players have visited CoE for fitness tests recently. Players like Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Sai Sudharsan have undergone fitness tests. Pacer Mohammed Siraj is expected to visit Bengaluru soon.

Nitish Kumar Reddy, who sustained a knee injury during the England tour, is recovering at CoE. He will need some time to become match fit. All-rounder Hardik Pandya underwent assessment at CoE earlier this month and is currently training in Baroda.

Rishabh Pant’s plaster has been removed, and he will soon commence his rehabilitation at the BCCI facility for his foot injury.

Meanwhile, India will commence their campaign in the Asia Cup 2025 on September 10. They are expected to travel to the UAE on September 4. Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team in the tournament, which will witness a battle among eight teams for the title.
