Injured players Rohit Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja and
Ishant Sharma will be tested on February 7, a day before the Men in Blue
play their first warm-up game against Australia and Bedi believes that
the team management has left things too late.
"Having been in Australia for two-and-a-half-months they have not really touched base with the nucleus of the team. Five or six players should form the crux of the team, who remain a certainty in every match. One or two changes can happen on the pretext of changing a combination or resting a
player but by and large six or seven players should be constant throughout and that hasn't happened so far," Bedi said in an interview.
"I feel pretty strongly that why is this team being tested so late. You are testing the fitness of players a day before the warm-ups begin and you are leaving things too late. This should have happened very early," he said.
The former Indian captain asserted that his "logical complain" pertains to the late fitness test of some of the players.
