Bishan Bedi, never short of an opinion, has joined the debate about player burnout, as reported on deepikaglobal.com. And he is clear where the blame lies - with the ICC.
"Both the individual boards and the ICC have to take the responsibility but I feel ICC is the main culprit because they are the ones who decide the schedules. In their efforts to provide more matches for teams like Bangladesh they are making top teams like India and Australia play more."
And he concluded:
"The administrators just have to apply common sense and balance out the number of games. After all you wouldn't want to kill the golden goose, would you?"
Many argue the goose is already well and truly slughtered.
