Former Indian Premier League: Former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi launched a scathing critique of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday, accusing the governing body of "killing" its players through "hectic scheduling", emphasising that players need "off time" to spend with their families.

Earlier, several reports suggested that head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill are reportedly not happy with BCCI deciding to schedule the Afghanistan Test just days after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season.

In a social media post, Modi reacted to reports of senior players potentially being rested for upcoming international fixtures due to burnout following the IPL 2026 season. He urged the Board to cease the "outrageous scheduling" to the welfare of the players.
