Why is BCCI under question regarding the timing of India’s ODI series against Afghanistan? Know the reason in 5 points

The ongoing ODI series between India and Afghanistan may have brought the opportunity of victory and record for the Indian team, but now questions are being raised regarding the organization of this series. The reason is the scorching heat in the country, due to which the fitness of the players and the risk of injury is continuously increasing. Its effect was clearly visible in the second ODI match played at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

Afghanistan’s batsman Darvesh Rasooli got injured while fielding. He later came out to bat, but due to pain could not last long and had to leave the field again. This was Rasooli’s first ODI match.

Why are questions being raised on IND Vs AFG ODI Series?

1- In extreme heat, water and essential minerals are continuously released from the body through sweat, which increases the risk of dehydration. According to experts, in such a situation the possibility of muscle strain and injury becomes higher than normal.

2- Indian captain Shubman Gill He put the team in a strong position by playing a brilliant inning of 154 runs, but after batting for a long time, he also seemed troubled by the heat. Gill suffered from cramps several times and after treatment he was able to bat again. However, after this his ability to run and play shots was affected. He was out after playing a strange shot at the end of the innings and then did not come on the field for fielding.

3- Ishan Kishan, who scored a century in the match, also had to face trouble in the last part of the innings. Now the next match of the series is to be held in Chennai, where the heat at this time can become a big challenge for the players.

4- The question arising is whether this series was organized at the right time? In India, the temperature remains very high in many parts of the month of June. It is believed that if this series had been conducted in a colder climate, the conditions would have been better for the players.

5- Indian players have been playing cricket continuously for the last several months. T20 World Cup in February, after that two month long IPL and then Test, A team series and now ODI matches. Most of the players are continuously on the field and the body has not got enough time for recovery. This is why now the concern is not just about winning a match, but about keeping the players fit for a long time. If a big player gets injured and is out for months, it can affect the upcoming important series.

Critics say that BCCI should keep the safety and comfort of the players at the top while making the schedule… because the ever-increasing pressure of cricket can become a challenge not only for the players but also for the fans.
