India's domestic schedule will restrict production of high pace bowlers

[Nikhil_cric]

The schedule is a joke.

 

Pakistan plays 4.5 months of domestic cricket in a year (including PSL)

 

England play 6 months a year (including NatWest/CC/Hundred)

 

Australia play their entire season for 5 months from end of September to end of Feb (BBL/Marsh Cup/Shield)

 

Then there is BCCI.

 

We don't have a defined domestic season and end up playing 19 months in year with the only a 2 month gap in August and September. 

 

Its a terrible, punishing schedule for cricketers with no real off season to rest, recuperate , regain strength and work on their skillsets. 

 

It's a particularly horrible schedule for young fast bowlers coming through the system.
