Before the historic Test match against Afghanistan in Bengaluru later this month, the Indian team has been asked by to report by June 8th for mandatory yo-yo tests by the BCCI. The Test match which begins on June 14th will welcome Afghanistan into the Test fold and also begin India’s season that includes a tough and grueling tour to England with a couple of T20Is in Ireland.
The yo-yo test results will be part of the fitness report that will be submitted to the BCCI before the season begins.
“The players will have to undergo a mandatory yo-yo test. Though the team has been already been picked for the lone Test against Afghanistan, it’s a procedure which each player has to follow. The players, who will be traveling to England too will have to undergo a yo-yo test in the coming weeks,” the BCCI informed.
Apart from the Indian Test team, the India A squads will also have to undergo yo-yo-tests in Bengaluru on June 3 and 4. Earlier in the year, like the BCCI, some of the IPL franchises also resorted to the use of the yo-yo tests for their players in the build-up to the tournament.
