Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes, one of the world’s top-class fielders in his prime, has given the thumbs-up to the BCCI’s new fitness tests for Team India players.
As part of its initiative to enhance fitness standards of players, the BCCI earlier this year introduced a new fitness test wherein fast bowlers are expected to cover a distance of 2km in eight minutes and 15 seconds, while all other players have to cover it in eight minutes and 30 seconds. Rhodes explained why the time trial is better than the yo-yo test conducted by BCCI wherein players have to shuttle across a 20-metre distance at increasing speeds.
