India Cricket Team to Receive Much-Needed Break After WTC Final 2023
India’s star players, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will be receiving a much-needed month-long break after the World Test Championship Final 2023. As the India vs Afghanistan series is on hold, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided not to force the series. Instead, the team will use this time to recuperate before the West Indies tour.
Team India to Hit the Reset Button After Busy Year of Cricket
The Indian cricket team has been playing non-stop cricket, with some of the players receiving brief respites in between. After a demanding IPL 2023 season, this will be the first time in the year that the team will get a chance to take a break. The team will be leaving for the West Indies tour in the first week of July.
BCCI and ACB Negotiations on Hold
The BCCI and Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had been in advanced talks to arrange a three-match ODI series. Later, there were discussions of a T20 series, but both plans are now on hold. The primary cause is the lack of a broadcaster. With the BCCI’s deal with Disney-Star expiring after the Australia ODI series, the Indian board does not have a broadcasting partner.
Conclusion
The Indian cricket team is in need of a break, and they will be getting it after the World Test Championship Final 2023. The BCCI and ACB have put their negotiations on hold due to the absence of a broadcaster. Team India will use this time to relax and recharge before their West Indies tour.
