Bangladesh batter Najmul Hossain Shanto recorded the highest score as players underwent the Yo-Yo fitness at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday. 

National team trainer Nick Lee set passing scores based on different age-groups, while the standard passing score was determined to be 18.6.

Out of 20-plus cricketers, Shanto registered a score of 19.5. The rest of the group managed adequate scores.

Pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib and all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz also recorded scores north of 19, while Mahmudullah Riyad managed a score above 17.

"Almost everyone performed in the same manner in the test. Some players haven't been in and around the national team. Their scores were a bit less but overall, no one was off-pace. All the players were almost in the same bracket," Lee told the reporters on Thursday.
