India Cricket Team to Enjoy Much-Needed Month-Long Break After WTC Final 2023
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to give the India Cricket Team a much-needed month-long break after the WTC Final 2023. Initially, there were talks of a three-match ODI series with Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), however, the plan is now on hold due to the absence of a broadcaster.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Others to Rejuvenate Before West Indies Tour
With India vs Afghanistan series on hold, the BCCI is not looking to force a series. Instead, during this time, the team, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will be able to rejuvenate before the West Indies tour. This will be the first time in a year that Team India will hit the reset button, as they have been playing constant cricket without any stoppage in action. The team will leave for West Indies tour in the first week of July.
Lack of Broadcaster Causes Delay in India vs Afghanistan Series
The main reason for the delay in the India vs Afghanistan series is the lack of a broadcaster. The BCCI’s deal with Disney-Star has expired with the Australia ODI series, and the Indian board does not have a broadcasting partner at the moment.
Conclusion
The India Cricket Team will be able to enjoy a much-needed month-long break after the WTC Final 2023. This break will allow players such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to rejuvenate before the West Indies tour. However, the India vs Afghanistan series has been put on hold due to the lack of a broadcaster.
