This has been in cricinfo website for some time. It's proposed schedule. Pak series won't happen due to Asia cup.

[Trichromatic]

India will have to select a 30 members squad if they play 5 tests in England just after T20 and IPL. Can't recall the last time when a subcontinent team played 5 away tests in a series.

[mrinalmech]

Also 2012 World T20. But it is overkill. An example - Aus Series ends on March 8. Asia Cup starts on March 12.

[mrinalmech]

2014 Apr - World T20 May - IPL July - England series 5 tests, 5 ODIs, 1 T20. :yay: :yay: :yay:

At home!!! :dance:

Well, there is no other option. BCCI can't leave IPL because of money and only 10 months are left for international cricket. Matches haven't increased much recently. It's just that time has reduced. IPL and CL T20 take almost 2 months. Earlier these two months were distributed across various international matches and it didn't look this bad. So, option for players - skip IPL. Choose matches. Option for BCCI and selectors - Ensure that players don't play too many matches without breaks. They will have to find the gap by skipping matches.

Not confidence boosting, averages boosting.

[mrinalmech]

Sorry, 2014 is in Bang. 2016 at home. But still Bang toh apna hi hai. We were the ones who freed them from Pak tyranny.

[mishra]

I hope that we play with Pakistani team. It would be a good confidence boosting exercise for youngsters. :P

Actually there was some news that PCB supremo Ijaz Butt visited Indian High Commission to eat Iftari. So may be in that schedule, Pakistan may just be introduced

Pretty good doc... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AohG5bceVslQdERPWGlKTlZJaFVzV2JDVkdGYVF2ZGc#gid=2 Between May 2012 and April 2013, we're due to play only 7 ODIs! I wonder how many extra games the BCCI will try and fit in.

England have scheduled upto 30 odis(plus the champions league )next year.This is stunning for a team which doesnt care about odi results.

30 ODIs aren't too much.

[Chandan]

We will be in Australia having played 4 tests and tri series before WC 2015. Thats good for acclimatisation, but players can be very tired also after a long series. These days, we don't have many ODI specialists as well. So is it good or bad? How should selectors approach this situation and what can be done to keep the players fresh?
