It should be mentioned that given the nature of the Test, fast bowlers may find it more challenging than other players.
Digital Desk: The Yo-Yo Test, which was first introduced under Virat Kohli's captaincy, was recently brought back into play by the BCCI.
Following the recent performances of the Indian team, the Yo-Yo Test is once again required. They will need to get a specific par score because many others have already aced the fitness test, which makes it significantly more challenging for them to make the team.
A player must receive a score of 16.5 to pass the Yo-Yo Test, whereas before the passing score was 16.1, according to BCCI's most recent criteria, as reported by PTI.
Yo-Yo Test explained:
The Yo-Yo Test is a 2-km time circuit workout that evaluates an athlete's speed and stamina.
The Indian squad will occasionally be asked to participate in a Test. Players must move between two cones or markers that are put 20 metres apart while running between them at a faster and faster speed.
A player will be instructed to run from cone B to cone A after a buzzer is pressed, and then return to the starting position after another buzzer.
The time between two buzzers gets shorter after each leap, forcing the player to go faster.
If a player misses two buzzers, the test is over, and the obtained score serves as their final reading for the Yo-Yo Test.
It should be mentioned that given the nature of the Test, fast bowlers may find it more challenging than other players.
According to PTI, former captain Virat Kohli even exceeded the 19-point mark in the Test, and there were other players as well who came very close to the 19-point threshold, including Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, and Karun Nair.
