India’s Cricket Team to Take a 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, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, a much-needed month-long break after the WTC Final 2023. This is due to the fact that the India vs Afghanistan series is currently on hold. The team will use this time to rejuvenate before their West Indies tour in the first week of July.
Long Stretch of Constant Cricket Play Leaves India Needing a Reset
The Indian cricket team has been playing a long stretch of constant cricket, with some players getting breaks in between. However, after an intense IPL 2023 season, this is the first time in a year that the team will be able to take a break.
BCCI and ACB Talks of ODI and T20 Series on Hold
The BCCI and Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had been in advanced talks to hold a three-match ODI series, as well as a T20 series. Unfortunately, both plans have been put on hold due to the lack of a broadcaster. The BCCI’s deal with Disney-Star expired with the Australia ODI series, leaving the Indian board without a broadcasting partner.
Conclusion
The Indian cricket team is in need of a well-deserved break, and the BCCI is giving them just that. After a lengthy period of constant cricket play, the team will have a month-long break before their West Indies tour. Unfortunately, plans for a series between the BCCI and ACB have been put on hold due to the lack of a broadcaster.
