Says If They Can Play IPL, They Can Play For India
New Delhi: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar weighed in on reports where senior players like Virat Kohli seeking rest from upcoming series against West Indies. Gavaskar also asked BCCI to intervene and handle players who are asking for rest before crucial series adding that they can play Indian Premier League (IPL) non-stop for 2 months.
Gavaskar opined, In Test cricket, your body and mind does take a beating, but T20 matches, it’s a matter of 20 overs of batting and 20 overs of fielding, so there is no problem with that. The Indian cricket board should revisit its policy on acceding to the players’ demand for rest.
He questioned, Every A-grade or A+ grade players gets a huge retainer fees from the BCCI. Apart from the contract, players get huge payments for playing matches. Tell me, which company or corporate will pay their chief executives, directors or managing directors for such extended time offs. Is there any company which gives such high salaries for not working?
