AB de Villiers opines on Bronco Test
Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has voiced his opinion on the Bronco Test, which, as per reports, is set to be introduced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for Indian cricketers to strengthen their fitness level. Following the reports, there has been a lot of discussion pertaining to the new test. Meanwhile, AB de Villiers stated that he was introduced to the Bronco test earlier in his career and called it one of the most intense and demanding tests. Notably, the Bronco Test will be in addition to the already existing Yo-Yo Test and 2-kilometre time trial.
"I actually didn't even know when the team told me about it. I said, 'What is a Bronco Test?' But when they explained it to me, I knew exactly what it was. I've been doing it ever since I was 16 years old. Over here in South Africa, we call it the sprint repeat ability test,” De Villiers said in a video on his YouTube channel.
Sharing his experience, AB de Villiers further elaborated on the fitness test.
"It's one of the worst you can do. Very clearly remember at the University of Pretoria, also at SuperSport Park, in the cold winter mornings of South Africa, in particular, where there's not a lot of oxygen, the altitude here is, I think, 1,500 meters above sea level. So, not a lot of oxygen, and those lungs would burn,” he added.
