‘Fitness is an individual thing, there is no such thing as one size fits all’: Gavaskar slams Yo-Yo test

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reintroduced the Yo-Yo test as one of the parameters to assess a player’s fitness. It’s a test which is designed by Danish sports scientist Dr Jens Bangsbo and was used to optimise training and improve endurance. It was scrapped when the Covid pandemic hit the world. However, the Indian cricket board has decided to incorporate it once again, along with DEXA scans, to monitor the fitness of the Indian players.
