Cricket Fitness Should Be The Prime Consideration, Not Yo Yo Or Some Other Test: Sunil Gavaskar
Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar has slammed the recent decision from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to make Yo-Yo and Dexa fitness tests mandatory for selection for players to enter the senior men's team, saying that cricket fitness should be the main reason for being selected into the side.
"The BCCI announced recently that they are bringing back the 'yo yo' test and some other tests for the fitness levels mainly for the emerging players. A player could be reeling off centuries and double centuries or picking five and ten wicket hauls while bowling heaps of overs, but if he can't pass these tests, then he won't be eligible for selection."
