A Return to the Yo-Yo Test as the BCCI Requires Players to Take It Once More

     The Yo-Yo test, which was first introduced under Virat Kohli's captaincy, has returned to the selection process, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it essential for players. The decision appears to have been made in response to the Indian cricket team's recent subpar field performances and the increased incidence of injuries.

     Since getting the "passing score" on the Yo-Yo test is now required, it will understandably be harder for many players to make the team. However, there are still a few players who have historically aced the test.

About the Test

     The Yo-Yo test is a 2-km time circuit trial that is designed to gauge a player's speed and stamina. This periodic trial will be required of all players who are eligible for selection. Right now, no player would be allowed to join the Indian team if they fail this test. 

     Additionally, fast bowlers are subjected to a little more difficult fitness test than other players. Fast bowlers must finish the test in less time than other players like batsmen, spinners, and wicket keepers due to their function and the demands of the game.

Overview 

     Several Indian players were able to perform admirably in the Yo-Yo Test. Players like Manish Pandey, Karun Nair, and Mayank Dagar reportedly exceeded the 19-point threshold in the exam back in the day. Virat Kohli is a member of the current team that excelled in the Yo-Yo Test. Kohli has previously surpassed the 19-point threshold.
