A 7 week long 'off season' (29th May-20th July) for the national side

Can't quite remember the last time we had such a gap in our schedule. Post the IPL, we do not play the next series till20th July (SL ODIs start on 22nd July). Some of the players will be on the A tour to WI, but most of the squad that played in Aus tests will have that rest period. The question is how best can the BCCI utilize this gap? Has been ages since the team had an even a week long preparatory camp. Give them a 4-5 week of rest and post that will be a good idea to have a bunch of 25-30 players in the country at Bangalore or even better at Dharmshala for 8-10 days and let them train with the coaching staff working on specific areas. Can the BCCI think along those lines or will the Spot Fixing controversy no consume all their energy?

Such a long gap! Good to see especially for players like MSD, Raina, Kohli who have been playing all forms of cricket regularly without missing a game.

its best time to unwind, stay away from cricket...2 weeks before the tour start the prep, have a challenger trophy..this could be blessing in disguise.

Thats good. As Kabira said, this is the time for the players to unwind and go for some holidays or just rest. If they want, players like Raina can work on some of their flaws like how to play short ball.

Raina will be going to Australia after IPL to play club matches there and work on his flaws. He had talked about it before IPL had started.

Lets see. It may not happen, but at least he is trying. You cannot blame him for not trying. e is dedicated towards his game and has good attitude. He will be training in an academy in Australia.

Respect to Raina. He has played non-stop cricket since god knows when.

Was not doing much when India was getting hammered in Australia 4-0. He's anyway doing it for his own survival. He knows he has very less time/limited chances to get back to the Test team.

True but Indian youngsters could do worse than to look to emulate Raina in terms of his hard work, dedication and attitude to fielding.

They should send atleast 3-4 players to play county cricket. They will learn few tricks from there, Zaheer Khan came out as a completely different bowler after one county season.
