BCCI tight-lipped on MS Dhoni’s concerns about Team India’s busy schedule – Cricket News Update
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not taken any action against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, the incumbent skipper of Team India, for the concerns he has expressed about the busy and restless playing schedule, that he thinks, has let them down
against England in the 4-match npower Test series.
Having lost first two Test matches disgracefully, Dhoni has nothing to justify his team’s failures but overdose of cricket that the Men in Blue have been experiencing since the dawn of the calendar year.

The six-week long World Cup campaign was followed by the 72-match Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament.
Shorty after the end of the IPL, the Blue Shirts flied to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749.
This routine and hectic schedule has infused sheer fatigue coupled with severe injuries in the Indians and they have found no time to prepare for this high-voltage series which is set to decide their World No 1 Test position.
As a result of playing excessive cricket, almost all the key Indian players have been rendered unfit. Yuvraj Singh’s injured hand has joined Virender Sehwag's aching shoulder, Gautam Gambhir's fractured elbow and Zaheer Khan’s hamstring.
After losing the Trent Bridge Test by 319 runs on August 1, Dhoni lashed out on the Indian Board, which kept the team’s heels hot and did not let the players take rest.
On the basis of Dhoni’s criticism, the Indian media has unleashed a blame game against the BCCI.
However, the board has decided to remain silent on this issue. Talking to the media, the BCCI Chief, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shashank-Manohar-c89791, said, “I don't react to media criticisms. I don't want to react to anything.”
Now, Team India’s top slot is at stake as the 3rd Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on August 10 is going to be decisive in this regard.
