In the fast-paced world of international cricket, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has cast a spotlight on the mounting challenges faced by all-format players who are at risk of burnout, both physically and mentally.
The team has been embroiled in a relentless schedule, kicking off with the Asia Cup title victory in September, swiftly transitioning to Test confrontations with the West Indies, and embarking on an arduous tour of Australia soon after, with minimal recovery time.
Gambhir, in a video released by the BCCI, underscored the difficulty of format-switching, particularly for stalwarts like Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shubman Gill, highlighting the importance of strategic rest and management to maintain their performance and mental well-being. The challenge now, Gambhir emphasized, is to strike a delicate balance in scheduling to prevent player exhaustion and ensure sustained excellence.
