Till now, the workload management has been paramount for the Indian team management. However, with Coronavirus forcing teams to operate in a bio-secure bubble, mental well-being is the biggest concern.
The Indian team will be on the road, starting with the World Test Championship from June 18 to 22 in England, followed by a full bilateral series (five Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is) against England from August 4 to September 14. It will be followed by resumption of the suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) in UAE and then the T20 World Cup. India coach Ravi Shastri warned of the dangers of mental fatigue on long tours like England. “When you have to play five Test matches in this environment in six weeks, it’s no joke. Even the fittest will need a break. More than physical, it’s the mental part. You can be destroyed mentally being asked to do the same things day in and day out and then go out and perform. It’s important you shuffle the guys around and keep them mentally fresh,” Shastri said on Wednesday ahead of the team’s departure.
