Indians Stuck In Bio-Bubble As England Players Get Time Off

By IANS News February 03, 2021 • 21:35 PM View: 1726

While England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is taking care of their players in the bio-bubble by giving them regular breaks, there is no such plan for the Indian cricket players who have been going about series after series with the same set of players and not resting any.

While England players, who are to play 17 Tests, the Indian Premier League (IPL), and World T20 this year, have rested Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran for the first two Tests after the duo featured in the two Tests in Sri Lanka and will send back Jos Buttler after the first Test, India's top players have had a busy schedule right from August when they went to the UAE to prepare for the IPL.
