What is the Yo-Yo Test

The Yo-Yo test is a measure of an athlete's fitness and agility, conducted by BCCI before any major tournament. During the test, players run between two points set at a certain distance within a stipulated time. Gradually, the distance between these points is reduced to assess a player's endurance and agility.

After their T20 series win in Ireland under captain Jasprit Bumrah, players like Tilak Varma, Prasidh Krishna, and Sanju Samson are set to join the Asia Cup squad. India's first match in the Asia Cup 2023 will be against Pakistan, scheduled to be played on September 2 in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
