Do you guys think too much of cricket is hurting our players . I was watching one of the news channel where they mentioned that this team has been playing non stop for the last three four months and the signs are clearly showing on the players . They are fatigued , they have lost their edge and they are not helped by the fact that collectively this team is going through a lean phase . But the insensitive BCCI keep on arranging one fixture after the other .What do you guys think ?

Every person in this world manages to balance his or her three lives 1- Social life 2- Personal life 3- Professional All the cricketers are also persons so the also have to manage these three lives. Our Indian cricketers are so much busy in professional life that the get stress out and the continuous matches, practice sessions lead them to injuries. For last three to four months our Indian players are busy in professional life only. So there is reduction in their performance because their life is not balanced.

No I totally disagree with you if you think that Indian players got this fatigue of continuously playing IPL then there are also many international players who also got the same fatigue like Dilshan, AB De Villers, Albie Morkel, Lasith Malinga and other such wonderful players. So, that was a lame excuse as far as I'm concerned I think Indian players ans especially captain are over confident they think that they select the best players from IPL but that is not the case here.

I think the Indian team played a lot during the previous months and this is bound to hurt the players. In future, the BCCI should be sensitve to the needs of the players. But, seeing the previous track record of BCCI, I don't think this is going to happen . The same story shall continue. But, the Indian players can take solace from the fact that they are going to get a long rest after the West Indiies series.

The Indian team always plays non stop cricket no matter what form the team is in. win or lose they will always have their hands full with one tournament after the other. Basically the aim of the bcci as we all know is t fill their pockets with loads and loads of cash. Player fatigue really does not matter to them. but these are professional players and the other teams around the world are also playing more cricket than before. If a player needs rest then he can opt for it.
