Why senior players could be rested for New Zealand tour of India?
The players are in continuous bio-bubble since India’s tour of England for WTC, Test series, followed by IPL 2021 Phase 2 and T20 World Cup. After a surprising month-long break before England tour due to IPL 2021 suspension, Virat Kohli & Co have spent five months outside the home.
As per Cricbuzz, the final list of players will be sent by November 10. They will undergo a five-day quarantine before a couple of days of practice.
New Zealand Tour of India – IND NZ LIVE Star Sports: Bumrah did throw light on the fatigue factor after the loss against the Kiwis on Sunday.
“Sometimes you need a break. You miss your family sometimes. You’ve been on the road for six months. So all of that sometimes play on the back of your mind. But when you’re on the field, you don’t think of all those things. You don’t control a lot of things, how the scheduling goes on or what tournament is played when.
“So obviously staying in a bubble and staying away from your family for such a long period of time does play a role on the player’s mind as well. But they also tried their best to make us feel comfortable. But this is the time which we’re living in right now. It’s a difficult time. There’s a pandemic going on. So we try to adapt. But sometimes bubble fatigue, mental fatigue also creeps in, that you’re doing the same thing again and again and again. So it is the way it is, and you can’t control a lot of it here,” he said.
New Zealand tour of India: KL Rahul likely to lead young brigade
KL Rahul is expected to don the captain’s hat. “The seniors would need a breather and it is no secret that Rahul is an integral part of the team’s T20 structure. He is almost certain to lead,” the source told ANI.
A young team will play the three T20 matches at home with the likes of new IPL stars like Avesh Khan, Venkatesh Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson and Harshal Patel. India will play three T20Is matches on November 17, 19 and 21 at Jaipur, Ranchi and Kolkata. It will follow a two-match Test series in Kanpur and Mumbai.
