BCCI review: Yoyo test back, Dexa included in Indian team selection criteria

The yo-yo fitness test has been reintroduced in the selection criteria for the national team in a high-level review meeting of the Indian Cricket Board. The meeting was due after India’s semi-final exit from the T20 World Cup in November. The meeting finally took place on Sunday and was attended by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, president Roger Binny, skipper Rohit Sharma, coach Rahul Dravid, NCA chief VVS Laxman and selector Chetan Sharma. Apart from yo yo test, DEXA (bone scan test) has also been included in the selection criteria.
