At the beginning of the yo-yo test, the benchmark was set at 16.1, but later it was increased to 17.1. This test requires players to run between two sets of cones within a specific time limit, which is determined by the coach using beeps. According to The Indian Express, the coaches of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) have prescribed a 13-day fitness program for the players during the break. The target was to ensure that he remains injury-free and maintains his fitness level till the Asia Cup.
