The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says it is changing how it plans for upcoming tours to ensure Indian cricketers get adequate rest and preparation. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia says the board will focus on rest, acclimatisation and practice matches ahead of any major series in SENA countries.
The statement comes amid concerns about the packed nature of cricket schedules, particularly for international tours where adjustment to conditions and recovery time can affect performance. While NDTV reports the strategy shift as an effort to improve preparation, it does not specify new dates, format changes, or concrete scheduling revisions.
The outlet frames the announcement as a proactive approach by the BCCI, but details on how the plan will be implemented—such as whether practice matches will be guaranteed or how travel and match timing will be altered—are not provided in the available account.
