#4 Ambati Rayudu voices his opinion on the Yo-yo Tests

Ambati Rayudu failed to find a spot in the Indian setup in the limited-overs contests against England, due to his failure in the yo-yo tests. Despite so, he has nothing against the strict fitness benchmark laid out by the Indian team management.

"I was disappointed with myself that I could not clear the test. Nothing against the test at all as everybody has to attain a certain fitness level playing for India. To be honest, I believe in it, and was disappointed with myself as to why I could not clear the test so I worked towards it and cleared it," Rayudu told reporters in a recent post-match press conference.

"I cleared it a few days back and I also got a call-up and am happy to be back in the scheme of things," he said.

He was speaking after making an unbeaten 62 runs, which became instrumental in India A's five-wicket win over Australia A in a quadrangular one-day series encounter at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
