BCCI issues warning to Virat Kohli, other star players ahead of Asia Cup, WC; Here's why
The Indian cricket team management has reportedly warned its players to refrain from sharing their fitness scores on social media platforms.
This directive came shortly after former Indian captain Virat Kohli shared his yo-yo test score on social media. The decision is believed to have been communicated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which considers such information to be confidential.
According to sources, players participating in the preparatory camp at Alur in Bangalore were verbally warned about the board's stance. The BCCI has emphasized that posting such scores online could breach contractual agreements.
Kohli had shared his yo-yo test score of 17.2 on Instagram, leading to a reaction from BCCI officials who were not amused by the move.
An unnamed BCCI official confirmed, "Players have been informed verbally to avoid posting any confidential matter on social media platforms. They can post pictures while training but posting a score leads to breach of contract clause."
The ongoing conditioning camp for the Indian cricket team, which began on Thursday, involves a focus on fitness assessment. However, considering the non-stop cricket schedule, the yo-yo test scores can vary. Players have been advised to adhere to the set fitness parameters to ensure consistent standards.
Ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, players who were provided with a 13-day fitness program will undergo a comprehensive body test, including blood tests. Trainers will evaluate their fitness levels, and those not meeting the standards will be addressed. The BCCI aims to ensure players are in top form as the World Cup approaches.
Notable players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, who returned from the West Indies tour, followed the 13-day fitness regimen. The program, spanning from August 9 to 22, is designed to keep players in optimal condition for the World Cup and to prevent potential injuries that could impact the Indian team's performance.
