“Discussion revealed that the previous management had allowed many players to play league cricket, which caused them to become fatigued before their national duty,” the article continued. However, moving forward, it has been decided to create a proactive strategy to address players’ workload and give national duty a higher priority.
“I’m delighted we had a productive review meeting and that everyone understood what was going on. We are sure that the Asia Cup experience served as a learning curve and will aid in getting ready for the ICC Men’s World Cup.
“Our team is talented, and we think they have what it takes to compete and succeed at the top levels. We are committed to provide our top-notch hitters and bowlers the materials and support they need in order to be prepared for the major event.
