Players’ fatigue worries Kirsten

Cape Town: Living life out of a suitcase could prove detrimental to Indian players in the ICC World Twenty20 Championship in England, warns coach Gary Kirsten who feels fatigue could play a major role in the defending champion’s campaign in the biennial event.

India has been playing non-stop cricket for a long time, travelling from one corner of the world to another.

It plays its first warm-up game ahead of the event against New Zealand on June 1, just seven days after the Indian Premier League (IPL) gets over.

The defending champion’s first match in the tournament, commencing on June 5, will be against Bangladesh a day later.

“The Indian players have been on the road for a long time and the biggest challenge will be mental fatigue,” said Kirsten. However, Kirsten said the current bunch of players have the ability to get over such situations. — PTI
