India’s young sensational pacer Mayank Yadav, who was out of the game for a long time due to a lower back stress fracture, is nearing full bowling fitness.
A BCCI official told PTI while talking about Mayank’s rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru: “Mayank Yadav is progressing well through his rehabilitation and has successfully achieved bowling at 90 per cent intensity, with a current workload of 18 overs per week. He has also demonstrated significant improvements in strength and conditioning, enabling him to approach the maximal fitness levels required for pace bowling.”
Mayank made his debut in IPL 2024 for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and immediately caught everyone’s eye with his express pace. He took seven wickets from four matches in the tournament and was selected for India’s T20I squad. The 23-year-old played three matches against Bangladesh, taking four wickets. However, he could manage to play only two matches in the IPL 2025, and since then, he has been out of competitive cricket.
“Over the forthcoming weeks, he is expected to progress to bowling at 100 per cent intensity, alongside the integration of high-intensity fielding activities, subject to ongoing symptom tolerance and monitoring,” the BCCI official added.
Riyan Parag is missing the Vijay Hazare Trophy due to a right shoulder injury.
The BCCI official also gave an update on him, saying: “Riyan has shown good progress following the injection to his right shoulder on 16th December 2025. He has regained full shoulder range of motion and is currently pain-free through all movements. He is continuing with a progressive shoulder strengthening and ground conditioning program without any limitations.”
