Dausa. Dausa District Cricket Association has geared up for the upcoming Under-19 cricket competition to be organized by Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA). This time, to make a place in the district team, the players will have to give strong proof not only with bat and ball but also of their super-fitness on the field. ‘Yo-Yo’ fitness test has been started by the District Cricket Association to check the physical ability of the players, which has increased the heartbeats of the young players. The association has given a clear warning that any player who fails to pass this stringent fitness test will be directly disqualified, no matter how good his previous record was. Preparation according to ODI format, camp will continue till Tuesday
