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.

Absolutely

Is he still playing international cricket?

What 57yr is as fit as a professional sportsman in their 20's 

The question is ...is he good enough to be a head coach !!!

[Forever Indian]

This is from someone who once interviewed for Head Coach role from Bangkok.

 

Players should also do their Yo yo test from Bangkok and send the results back to coach.

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 .

He is not Rohit Sharma with few lobbies backing him.

Rohit sharma gets time and chances to clear.

Who knows the credibility of the test or the people grading the test?

How do people tell if the test conditions are the same for everyone? Do they keep video recordings?

As a non Indian I find this episode very very strange and I know as a Scotsman if given the choice today to either play against Rayudu or Raini it would be Raini every day of the week and twice on Sundays !!

Honey Singh would pass the Yo-Yo test at a canter.

Board politics over Yo-Yo test angers Indian team management

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/board-politics-over-yo-yo-test-angers-indian-team-management/articleshow/64727931.cms

The Indian team management told TOI, " Individuals who have nothing to do with cricket are busy interfering in team affairs. Saba Karim is not telling the entire truth. His remit is to stick to domestic cricket and women's cricket, not the Indian men's team. Instead, Karim is busy leaking stories to the media about what happens in the dressing room. For starters, he needs to confirm if his KRA (job profile) involves interfering in Team India affairs?"

 

 

Karim, as GM-Operations is learnt to be busy drafting his opinion, one that the Team management says is "not needed." Team India sources categorically say all the "tamasha" (ruckus) over Yo-Yo is might disappointing.

 

The Team India management says, "The idea of Yo-Yo tests is not an overnight thing. It's been designed keeping all relevant officials in the loop. It's not a one-off either. If there are ideas from former cricketers to improve upon it, then fine. But why politicize the whole thing? If there are any questions that need to be asked, let them be with skipper Virat Kohli. Why play politics when the team is not here and is away on an important tour?"
