The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) is not happy with an act of star batsman Virat Kohli who took to Instagram and posted a story about passing the yo-yo test successfully at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore.
“The happiness of finishing the yo-yo test between the dreaded cones. 17.2 done,” Kohli wrote along with a photo of himself.
Kohli was found to be way above the mark as the BCCI-mandated fitness parameter is 16.5 in the yo-yo test.
Earlier, the cricketers were asked by BCCI not to reveal their test scores from the yo-yo test. However, some of the cricketers did not oblige to the rule in place.
As per reports, former captain Kohli and the entire team has got a ‘verbal’ warning over this incident.
“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,” said a BCCI official.
Though Kohli was rested during the Ireland tour, he has been maintaining his fitness level as he prepares to join the squad ahead of the all-important Asia Cup.
