The BCCI has decided to conduct fitness tests of players before they are picked in the national team to avoid embarrassing late withdrawals like the ones by Mohammad Shami and Ambati Rayudu from the Test and ODI sides after failing the 'Yo-Yo' test.

Sanju Samson was the third cricketer who could not pass the mandatory fitness test after being named in the India A ODI squad for the UK tour. The teams for the one-off Afghanistan Test, India and A tour of the UK, were announced in the middle of the IPL last month.
