The former star of the Indian Cricket Team had a blunt take on the workload management concerns in the Indian Premier League 2023
The final of word test Championship is only weeks after the IPL, and then the ODI World Cup is also going to take place later this year in the months of October and November. The captain of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, had stressed the need for workload management for the Indian team players before the start of the tournament.
Rohit had said this after the last match of team India before the start of the IPL earlier this month. He has said, “It’s all up to the franchises.” The franchises own the players now, so we’ve given some indications or some kind of borderline kind of thing to the teams. “But at the end of the day, it’s up to the franchise, and, most importantly, it’s the players, you know, they have to take care of their own bodies.”
He also added, “They are all adults.” So they have to look after their bodies, and if they feel that it’s getting a little too much, they can always talk about it and take a break in one or two games. “I doubt whether that will happen, but.”
However, the former cricketer of the Indian Cricket Team, Sanjay Manjrekar, doesn’t aggregate the captain of the Indian Cricket Team. During a free season show on ESPNcricinfo, when Manjrekar was asked whether Hardik Pandya might need to check on his bowling exertion or not keeping in mind the World Cup later this year, he gave a very interesting answer.
Manjrekar said, “The IPL’s success is largely dependent on players’ fitness, and everyone plays to their best potential.” Fans love this tournament; it’s quite popular, so I’m not a fan of players resting during the IPL so that they can play in the World Cup. Because, as you can see, the players can get injured even during international matches. “Anything can happen.”
He also said that there should be no restrictions on players in the Indian Premier League because owners spend money on them and they should have the freedom to use their players as much as they want. In this regard, IPL should be given special status.
