Hi Safa,
Fitness is becoming a hug part of the game and with India`s Virat Kohli recently setting the standard in the international game by dropping players if they did not reach the targets, fitness testing is a necessity.
My favourites (least favourites if doing them) are the 30:15 or the Yo-Yo test. They both test your player repeated sprints ability and give you a great indication of how fit they are.
Hope this helps
