Team India seniors looking to skip tour to West Indies for series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 and England
Senior members of India cricket team have requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India to rest them for their upcoming tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 which begins on June 4, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s tour to the Caribbean includes three Test matches and five One Day Internationals.
The Men in Blue have playing non-stop cricket ever since the ICC World Cup 2011 which began over two months ago in February. While the BCCI is adamant on sending the full strength squad to tour the Caribbean, some senior players may miss the series due to
their hectic schedule.
The squad wants to take some rest to be fit for their impending high-profile tours to England and Australia later in the year.
Some squad members who may be rested for the tour of West Indies include batsman Sachin Tendulkar, skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gautam-Gambhir-c58623.
The senior members of the cricket team are seeing the West Indies visit as a chance to revitalise their energy levels and to regain their form.
Latest news suggests that all rounder Yuvraj Singh may be considered to step in the role of the skipper in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028.
A successful campaign at the ICC World Cup 2011 platform and a crammed Indian Premier League season will surely strain the team members.
Following the Caribbean series, India are due for a more crucial tour of England that starts on July 15, 2011.
England will visit India for a One Day International series in November 2011. A month later, the Men in Blue will play a high-voltage series against former world champions Australia which will begin in December and will finish in January of next year.
The absence of the senior players in the series against West Indies will grant an opportunity to the young Indian cricketers to show their mettle at the international circuit.
