The Indian cricket team selectors on
13th August announced the ODI squad for Sri Lanka tour and decided to
drop Yuvraj Singh. Suresh Raina also failed in making a comeback to
the national side.
The decision didn't go down well with
the cricket fans who kept on looking for answers. While the selectors
had claimed that Yuvraj Singh has been rested and not dropped, a new
report has surfaced which suggests otherwise.
It is now being told that the both the
cricketers failed in a 'Yo-Yo' endurance test at the National Cricket
Academy because of which they were not considered for the Sri Lanka
limited overs series.
The 'Yo-Yo' endurance test is
considered as the most important fitness test among many others that
team India undergoes.
The players had to clock a 'Yo-Yo'
score of 19.5 or more but both Yuvraj and Raina couldn't touch the
required number. Reportedly, Yuvraj Singh barely managing to score
16.
Skipper Virat Kohli, who is considered
as the fittest Indian cricketer, scored 21.
