India should start to prefer international cricket rather than IPL says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777 – Cricket News Update
Former England captain, Nasser Hussain, has claimed that the Indian team is bound to struggle as they are playing too much cricket at the moment.
England and India are up against each other in the 2000th Test match of the history of the game, at Lord’s, which is the first match of the series between the world’s top two teams.
India faced a huge setback on day one of the match, as their premier fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379, was injured after a hamstring problem and he has been ruled from bowling in the first innings of the match.
Hussain feels that the Indian Premier League is creating a lot of problems for Indian cricket as well as International cricket, because the players cannot afford to miss the cash-rich league, even if they are not at full fitness.
This is one of the major reasons why a number of senior players from the Indian team were not available for the tour of West Indies earlier this year.
Nasser said, "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 tour. Obviously, Zaheer arrived here bit undercooked and a bit unfit."
A number of cricket analysts around the world are of the opinion that the growing franchise cricket is extremely dangerous for the international sport, as the players have started to prefer playing different T20 leagues rather than focussing on Test cricket.
Nasser, who is now a cricket commentator, said that the English team on the other hand is doing exceedingly well in Test match cricket since last couple of years because the management does not allow the players to play too much domestic cricket. The Former
England captain gave the credit to the coach of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 cricket team, Andy Flower.
"England are ready for the Test match. The credit should go to England coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, who doesn't allow his players to play too much of county cricket. India have to see what they want to prioritise and which is the most important form of the game for
them," he added.
