Ben Stokes, who was dominated out of the last Test towards India on account of a proper shoulder damage, referred to as for higher scheduling and gaps in a five-Test sequence.
Both groups have struggled when it comes to managing participant accidents and workloads, and the England captain didn’t hesitate in admitting that it takes a ‘big toll’ on each participant.
“I guess maybe you could look back over five games in a series.
“Could the gaps between games be done a little bit better? You had two eight-day and nine-day gaps between Tests and then two three-day turnarounds; maybe you could look at making it four, five for every game. This way there’s some consistency,” Stokes stated.
“It has been tough for both teams. A lot of overs were bowled, and there was a lot of time spent out on the field. That’s part of the game,” he added.
India captain Shubman Gill additionally agreed that enjoying over 5 days has its challenges.
“One of the most important things in the series has been that all the matches have gone up to five days. I can’t remember a series where all four Test matches were played until the last moment,” Gill stated.
“Three days is too little of a turnaround when both teams are playing such hard cricket”.
