Now having just finished World Cup Tournaments now many players are playing IPL matches which are abut to start. These matches will last for some good number of weeks where the players have to show their aggressiveness and endurance which means a lot of stress and strain! Immediately after this Indian Team will be going to have series against West Indies. There after they are having schedule to play with England in another series! Thus the tired Indian team will be subjected to more tiredness by making them to play Cricket for another six months ! Some times its felt that BCCI is treating their players like money minting machines and taking undue advantage of the situation! What do you feel?Is is OK for the Indian Team to have so much of Cricket at a time?Please give your valuable views! Your Views will be highly appreciated! Thanks !

yeap our players playing too much cricket and it will affect our player fitness very badly. The full credit goes to BCCI the money making machine they don't care about the fitness of the player they concern with money only and little bit credit goes to player also who are playing for the sake of the money. I think BCCI should change the way he treat our player and give more concentration on the international matches rather then IPL

Hi Dear Siliguri! You are absolutely right, BCCI is using our Indian players as money making machines irrespective of their fitness concerns! All they want is making money out of IPL to keep their treasures filled up! They are are hardly have any concern about the fitness of the players is concerned as far as International matches are concerned! It was good that we won the world Cup, the BCCI would have come under severe criticism about the fitness problems of our players who were not 100% fit, if were losers! Thus for them the fitness is a not a big problem when compared to money making process! Thanks !

Dear AKRao, Yes I believe it is too much cricket. I am a cricket fan, but this is a little too much. Cricket is a sport which is under threat. The main reason is for that is because, we play or see it too much that we do not miss it any more, or we don't long for it any more. We have IPL every year, T20 World cups every year. .... I mean the players earn a lot, but still in order for cricket to survive, people should long for it. It is human psychology. The more you make people long for it, the more they want to see it. I compare a sport to a tasty meal in a restaurant. You eat it and it almost fills your stomach. You want more, but then if you order the dish again more you know you end up wasting it...!!!! Right now, it is like we have ordered the dish thrice. (:P). May be BCCI and ICC should think about making happen IPL and T20 championships once every two years, instead every year. Like this people do not feel so clustered...!!! The Indian team surely deserves a break..... I hope that they get it... Share your views... Balu

Hi Dear Balu Maris! You are absolutely right! Any thing in excess makes the thing boring and one tend to loose the interest in that! Like You said frequent Cricket matches may not create interest in the people! To make the things interesting they should be catered in a limited manner! To justify your statement, this time I don't have any idea of following IPL tournament, and so far except for that fact the tournament is going to start from today I have no further idea about this tournament! This is just because I think I have had enough of Cricket during the World Cup and I can't take more of Cricket now! But then so long the BCCI is getting Crowd to enjoy these matches and getting sponsors why should they really think of reducing the frequency of these tournaments! They on the contrary will be happy to conduct the matches as frequently as possible so that they can have good income to the Board! Indian Team is really getting tired in this IPL there after, they are going in for two important series one against West Indies and followed by the one against England! May God save these poor players! Thanks for responding!

Yes, it is true. indian cricketers are playing too much cricket. They should've given few days rest so that they can deliver better performances or atleast keep their performances. It is too harsh to have so many crickets. maybe they are getting lots of money but the board and icc are getting lots of money without doing anything (compare to the cricketers). There is IPL then some foreign tour. I forgot the schedule but there are too many matches ahead.

Hi Dear Rafaelnadal! You are absolutely right! it is more of the Boards they are interested in conducting the tournaments for making money than the actual players! Players are after all the participants who will be playing the matches arranged by the Cricket Boards! They are just puppets of the show, while the Cricket Boards are the organisers of the whole event! BCCI is hardly have any interest in giving rest to the players, all they want is money which they are going to collect by conducting a tournament! They are hardly bothered about the performance of the players in the matches! In IPL a great deal of money is involved so everything revolves around the money and giving rest to the players has no place in that! May God only save the players from these busy schedules which the poor Cricketers are facing to day! Thanks for responding!
