The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to alter the Future Tours Programme (FTP) in response to player fatigue and injuries, following poor performances overseas in Ireland and England. This decision was discussed at a review meeting in Mumbai on Thursday. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia acknowledged the need for players to rest and adapt before major overseas assignments, citing the demanding cricket calendar and player workload as concerns.
The team's recent losses in Ireland, England, and a 2-1 ODI series defeat highlighted the issues at hand. The BCCI will focus on creating less demanding schedules, allowing more rest and acclimatization before crucial matches in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia.
