Ambati Rayudu's omission from the India A squads for the Quadrangular series, Tests and the Duleep Trophy squads was due to the fact that he is yet to appear for his Yo-Yo test. The 32-year-old, who was initially picked in India's ODI squad, was dropped after he failed to clear the Yo-Yo test ahead of the ODI series and Suresh Raina was announced as his replacement.

Since then, he hasn't taken the test again and sources in the BCCI have revealed that the management informed the selectors to not pick players not up to the fitness standards, according to a report in the Mumbai Mirror. Rayudu has had six weeks to take the test again, having failed it on June 15 but he has asked for more time.

He was in England with the junior Chennai Super Kings squad and has asked for two weeks' time to appear for the test again as he hopes to clear it and be in contention for a spot in the Indian squad for the Asia Cup in September.

The 32-year-old was CSK's leading run-getter in IPL 2018 and earned a spot in the Indian ODI side for England after a personal-best IPL season that saw him score 602 runs at an average of 43 and strike rate of almost 150.

But since then, things haven't gone according to plan as he was not only dropped from the Indian ODI squad but also not picked in the India A and India B squads for quadrangular series, India Blue, Red and Green teams for the Duleep Trophy and India A squad for the two four-day games against South Africa A.

It is also understood that Rahul Dravid had some input on the India A squad and Akshay Wadkar has been named as the replacement for wicket-keeper batsman Abhishek Gupta, who was picked in the India Red squad for the Duleep Trophy despite being banned for a doping violation till September 14.

The guy is 32 years old, and isn't more established than 19 years old Gill or Shaw. Any person with a little brain wouldn't even look at likes of Rayadus Etc.

Way to go Rayadu...

The jr superkings squad is more important than trying to get back in the Indian team.

 

You just play IPL.

This is pure bias. Everyone knows that Rayudu will out perform Rohit and mafia won't let that happen so they fail h but somehow mysteriously pass the tpot belly Rohit sharma

Rayudu is a hackster, if he was good enough he would've made the Indian team more than once after that stuint in ICL 11 years back. He's simply not of the required level - no better than Pandey or Agarwal, in fact a notch below.

 

Sharma's definitely not indispensable, but he won't be replaced the likes of Ambati anytime soon!

Absolutely.

 

Rayudu should have been a permanent fixture long ago in all 3 formats of the game.

 

I feel Kohli's love for Rohit is blinding him to the obviously superior talent of Rayudu.

Nope. He doesn't deserve until recently where he proved that he is a transformed player who can score fast and very flexible. Can bat anywhere

He did that in 2017 too playing for MI plus he was injured and out for two weeks so it shows he developed a warrior like mentality in MI squad.

I'll have to disagree with you there.

 

Rayudu deserved to be in the Indian team in all 3 formats long ago. The transformation and the winning mentality of this IPL season is an added bonus.

In Test squad he wants Shankar but as far as I know Shankar won the big one in 2016 while playing for SRH before that the winning mentality went missing and only mentality he developed was he and his franchise getting banned for two years .
