CHENNAI: "Is information technology the end of the road for Yuvi?" The question has haunted Yuvraj Singh fourth dimension and again in the terminal six years. It has cropped up over again later the left-hander, along with Suresh Raina, were not included in the squad for the upcoming limited-overs series confronting Sri Lanka.
Yuvi didn't await the fittest during the Champions Bays in England, and reports suggesting that he had failed the 'Yo-Yo' endurance test before the Lanka tour selection added fuel to fire that the stalwart might well have played his last international match.
Withal, a top source close to the selection committee insisted that Yuvi has not been dropped because of failing the Yo-Yo test. "Those reports are completely incorrect. It wasn't the reason for his omission," the source told TOI on Thursday. It was told that chairman of selectors MSK Prasad was spot on when he had said that "Yuvraj has been rested and that doors accept not been airtight on him".
While Yuvraj was part of the Indian ODI squad that toured West Indies in June, Raina has been posting videos of training hard in Amsterdam over the past month equally part of his preparations to undergo evaluation at the National Cricket University (Bengaluru), which happened a few days back.
Former Indian team trainer Ramji Srinivasan, who was with the team from 2009-2013, mentioned the BCCI "wouldn't have dropped or removed" a cricketer based simply upon the Yo-Yo test results.
"The Yo-Yo examination is washed to assess the aerobic fitness of an private. However, it is not simply that one aspect that decides a player's fitness levels. At that place are many other tests that are done to measure the strength, flexibility, speed, power, agility, cadre strength etc. I don't think the BCCI would drop or remove somebody just based on the written report of i examination," Ramji, who was the trainer of India's World Cup winning squad in 2011, told TOI.
Having worked with both Yuvraj and Raina right from their younger days, Ramji said he was "shocked" when he heard that the duo had failed fettle examination. "I accept seen both of them for the past fifteen years. Their work ethics are superb. They have always set the standards high. And Yuvraj worked tremendously hard on his fitness to stage a improvement from cancer. I was actually shocked when I came to know nigh that study," said Ramji. He added that there are a lot of specific tests carried out on batsmen and bowlers such as reaction time, hand centre coordination and a few others.
Yuvraj is 35 and Raina too has now hitting 30. Even if they are not unfit, is information technology possible for them to make a improvement?
Former national selector Saba Karim believes so. "We have seen many greats brand a improvement. There is no reason why both Yuvraj and Raina tin can't," Karim told TOI. But he was prompt to add that the duo should keep working on their fitness and perform in domestic cricket.
With the exception of a alone fifty against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy opener, Yuvraj wasn't at his best in England equally well as in the Caribbean area later. It saw Yuvraj out of the 11 for the final 2 ODIs against the West Indies with Dinesh Karthik replacing the former.
Raina, on the other paw, hasn't been considered in the 50-over format for a while at present as he last played for Bharat in ODIs against Southward Africa in October 2015. Krishnamachari Srikkanth, former chairman of selectors, said the 'matchwinner' tag keeps both Yuvraj and Raina in contention all the time. "In whatsoever format you demand matchwinners. And there is no doubt nigh the fact that they are in the shorter formats of the game. This is probably a trial-and-error team looking forward to 2019 World Loving cup and these ii guys may well get a wait-in later," Chika said.
Although Raina hasn't featured in the ODI gear up-upward for a while now, he was part of the Indian T20 team that played iii T20s against England at domicile earlier this year. Leading Gujarat Lions in the IPL, Raina did ready the phase on burn down scoring 442 runs in 14 matches. Given his exploits in the T20 format, in that location is certainly a possibility that that he will brand a comeback in the shortest format of the game.
Karim said that he feels Raina is preparing himself to play all formats. "From whatever data I take gathered nearly Raina, he has been preparation hard and he is also attending a conditioning camp with his land side. Going by these, it seems he wants to play all formats and not but T20s," said the former stumper.
