BCCI Plans Player-Friendly Scheduling with Rest and Preparation in Next FTP
The BCCI acknowledges frequent injuries among Indian cricketers due to a packed schedule and plans to revise the Future Tours Programme (FTP) to address this. Secretary Devajit Saikia highlighted the need for proper rest, acclimatisation, and practice matches before major series in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). The board aims to manage player workload better by scheduling more recovery time between series, based on feedback from team captains and coaches during a recent review meeting.
