It wasn???t the case for the South Africa Test series.

The team management had adopted the idea, but the board later crushed it.

One of the major reasons for that was the cramped schedule. Players like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya were part of the team for home series against Sri Lanka too.
