As reported in Hindustan Times Gautam Gambhir cited that "I feel certain fielding standards are critical. Now I haven’t done the yo-yo Test. We had the beep test, which is more or less similar. But that shouldn’t be the only criterion. It should be a mixture of fitness and also looking at the ability of a player. I think the yo-yo test is important but also looking at the ability of the player and how fit or unfit the player is."
