Fitness tests no more 'criterion' for Team India selection

The Indian team management under the captaincy of Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri had made fitness tests like the yo-yo test, which checks the endurance of athletes, a yardstick for players to get into the team. The NCA team, comprising physios and strength & conditioning coaches, has devised three proformas which are known as National Fitness Testing Criteria (NFTC), Performance Testing Battery and Prevention Testing Battery.
