Matt Prior: Rotational policy is necessary – Cricket News Update
In the wake of the recent criticism labelled at Cricket Australia over their rotational policy, England’s wicket-keeper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984, has defended the system by arguing that it is the only way to keep the best players hungry for big games and series.
Prior, who is in Australia to take part in the ongoing Big Bash League where he will represent the Sydney Thunder, was keen to play down suggestions that the policy hinders the confidence of young fast bowlers who are aiming to become permanent figures in the national team.
The Aussies have faced plenty of bowling causalities this season, which has made it mandatory for CA to assess the workload of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392, who performs in all formats of the game. The left-armer’s omission from the Boxing Day clash baffled many cricket observes but Prior took a light view of the situation by citing his own national team’s example.

They already lost http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465, the T20 skipper, to injury and many believe that the fast bowler’s extended workload over the past 12 months has also affected his performances on the field. Broad remained wicketless in the two Tests he played against the Men in Blue.
"I think it's going to happen more and more with the amount of cricket going on with different competitions ... Test matches, Twenty20, 50-over cricket," Prior said on Thursday."In England there's a rotation policy happening. It is necessary.
"You want your best players and best performers ready for the big games and the big series. If you try and get those guys to play every day, I think you're going to probably shorten their careers."You've got to look after your assets like you would in any business."
