Cricket
Although ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed conceded to captains' fears about burn-outs due to excess of cricket, he maintained that the number of matches being played currently was ``manageable''. Speed also promised to prepare a consultation document for national boards to see if the problem could be solved. ``The captains asked the ICC to look at whether there can be a break in the scheduling and we are happy to take their concerns on board,'' he said. ``When we go back over the last five years, and look forward into the next five years, I think it's fair to say `Yes' players will be playing more cricket than previously.'' Eight of the 10 Test captains, who attended the annual ICC meeting at Lord's yesterday, voiced concerns over cramped fixtures which was leading to increasing injuries and threatening careers of leading cricketers. Fears over player burn-out turned out to be the main agenda as the Test captains sat down for their annual meeting with senior administrators of the game's apex body, chaired by India's Sunil Gavaskar.— PTI
