India Cricket Team to Get Much-Needed Month-Long Break After WTC Final 2023
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to give the Indian cricket team a much-needed month-long break after the WTC Final 2023. This is due to the Afghanistan series being put on hold. During this time, the squad will have the chance to rejuvenate before their West Indies tour.
India Team Continuously Playing Cricket
India’s cricket team has been playing nonstop for quite some time. Even though some of them have had breaks in between, there has been no stopping of action. Hence, after a strenuous IPL 2023 season, this will be the first time in a year that Team India will have a chance to reset. The team will be departing for the West Indies tour in the initial week of July.
Advanced Talks for Three-Match ODI Series
The BCCI and Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) were in advanced talks to have a three-match ODI series. Later, there were discussions of a T20 series. However, both plans are now on hold.
Reason Behind Series Being Put On Hold
The primary reason behind the series being put on hold is the absence of a broadcaster. With the BCCI’s agreement with Disney-Star expiring with the Australia ODI series, the Indian board does not have a broadcasting partner.
Conclusion
The Indian cricket team will be getting a much-needed month-long break after the WTC Final 2023, as the BCCI has decided to put the Afghanistan series on hold. During this time, the squad will have the opportunity to relax and refresh before their West Indies tour. The primary reason behind the series being put on hold is the lack of a broadcaster.
