It is cognizance of the fact that the ODI World Cup comes once in four years and it is really unfortunate if the top players get ruled out of the marquee event due to untimely injuries.
Usually, the players are bound to get injuries if they keep pushing themselves in each and every match. It is necessary for the players to manage their workload which would help them recharge their batteries.
Not long ago, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja were ruled out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 owing to their respective injuries. The duo’s absence was indeed a huge blow to India’s chances in the marquee event.
India qualified for the semis of the competition but lost to the England cricket team in the crucial encounter. So, with around ten months of time left for India to prepare for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, BCCI has made Yo-Yo and Dexa Tests mandatory as part of the selection criteria.
When Virat Kohli insisted on managing the workload of key players in IPL in 2019
In 2019, when Virat Kohli was the captain of the Indian cricket team, he persisted in managing the workload of the important players in the Indian Premier League ahead of the ICC ODI World Cup 2019.
Virat Kohli also stressed the fact that the World Cup comes once in four years and that the players play IPL each year. Although it was not implemented soon after Virat Kohli’s statement, the BCCI decided to implement it in 2023.
Yes, the board has given clear instructions to the National Cricket Academy regarding the same. NCA will work along with the Indian Premier League franchises on the workload of Indian players leading into the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Meanwhile, the fans would hope that this will bring a change in India’s approach going forward into the ICC World Cup 2023.
Virat Kohli was right all along!
