IND vs BAN: “I Hope There Is Not Too Much Of Giving A Break Now” – Sunil Gavaskar On Team India

Legendary India National Cricket Team batter Sunil Gavaskar is hoping that Team India players are not given frequent breaks in the build-up to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, which is all set to be held in India in October-November next year.

Rohit Sharma & Co. are currently in Bangladesh and they are all set to take on the Bangla Tigers in a three-match ODI series and a two-match Test series.

Speaking ahead of the first ODI of the three-match series on Sunday, December 4, Sunil Gavaskar warned Team India of taking frequent breaks.

“I hope there is not too much chopping and changing. I also hope there is not too much of giving a break now. Then the combination takes a long time to gel when you come into the World Cup. And then in World Cup, there is no matches where you can afford to lose,” he said as quoted by Hindustan Times.

Meanwhile, India captain Rohit Sharma, speaking at a press conference on Saturday, December 3, said that a lot of cricket is being played and it is not going to stop, and hence it becomes very important to provide rest to the players so that they can remain fresh. Also, he said it’s impossible to field their best lineup in all the matches.

It is very important that the core plays all matches – Sunil Gavaskar

Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar further said that the core Team India player should play all the ODI matches in the lead-up to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 without taking breaks.

“So it is very important that the core plays all matches. Yes there will be an odd player coming in somewhere when you need an extra bowler or a batter. But the core has to play every single one-day game. No rest. You are playing for India. No rest. You want to win the World Cup. And for that, you need that combination to be absolutely gelling every single game,” he said.
