You pass Yo-Yo test, you play. You don't pass the test, you sit: Shastri

"I think it's a combination of both ability and fitness. If you are fit, you can enhance that ability. That is one thing that has been emphasized on while designing the Yo-Yo fitness test. And it is here to stay. Whoever thinks it's a one off thing, he is sadly mistaken and that person can take a walk," Shastri said.

“The philosophy is simple. You pass the test, you play. You don't, you sit. So this is not going to go anywhere. The captain leads from the front, the selectors the management are on the same page. And the boys have responded extremely well," added Shastri.

 

"From a preparation point of view, it is ideal. The players will get to play the limited-overs leg first, first the T20Is, followed by the ODIs. By the time, the Test matches commence, almost after a month, we will have plenty of time to get used to the conditions there," Shastri said.

His exact words were 'You Pass, you Play....you Fail, you Sail' 

 

Absolutely A class idiot this Shastri is. Not bcoz I am against fitness test or anything, but the way he was talking arrogantly is the press conference is appalling. As if he is super fit...LMAO.

 

Shastri is a nothing more than an Yes man of captain...the only reason he is so much behind fitness because Kohli likes it. If tomorrow some other skipper comes and gives more preference to skills over fitness, he will change his tone like a chameleon.

Even coaches should be made to take the yo yo test. 

How can they look like pregnant blokes and coach a national team?

Well....sports coaches should atleast not sport beer belly the size of a kardashion  butt.

I agree with the need of of fitness, but he need to tone it down when speaking to media. He sound like he is the head of some gully team. It's not just about fitness, you need to take into consideration of skills as well. You have to ask how did the likes of Raina made into the team?

[Tibarn]

There should be some sort of test for coaches to be allowed to coach, or at least to speak to the media...

[beetle]

Shastri should be made to take a sobriety test before he comes in front of a mike.

[Suhaan]

I think he will be more than happy to take the whole failure gang to some liquor bar,to have all ears to his hearsay

Shastri ji should start his own brewery and call it Yo-Yo

Oh the irony of the Cheerleader-Coach stressing the importance of passing tests when he himself has never passed any cheerleading or coaching examinations. The only credentials he appears to be carrying are a fat salary and an increasingly fat belly...

Yo-Yo test under scanner: CoA to ask BCCI why is it only fitness criteria

https://m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/yo-yo-test-under-scanner-coa-to-ask-bcci-why-is-it-only-fitness-criteria/amp_articleshow/64720652.cms

 

HIGHLIGHTS

• Committee of Administrators is likely to take up the relevance of Yo-Yo test with BCCI
• Ambati Rayudu was one of the highest run-getters in IPL 2018 but was dropped from the Indian squad after flunking the Yo-Yo test

NEW DELHI: The Indian team management may consider the Yo-Yo test to be sacrosanct but the selection fiasco of Ambati Rayudu

 is not lost on Committee of Administrators (CoA) Chief Vinod Rai, who is likely to ask BCCI why it should be the only fitness parameter for national selection.

Exactly!!

This guy played in the IPL I never once heard from media, BCCI, Pundits or the experts on ICF that as he crashed 4's and 6's around the park that he looked unfit but 2 weeks later he is completely unfit to play cricket .

Surely it could have been kept quiet and build his fitness over the next few weeks .

They dropped him to take in Raina.
As simple as that
