The Story in Brief
A wave of injuries has swept through Indian cricket, with so many players sidelined that an almost entire playing XI could be formed from the absent stars, according to NDTV Sports. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has intervened as the crisis deepens.
The list of injured players includes key names across formats. The BCCI is now working on managing the fitness of its athletes, a situation that threatens team composition for upcoming series.
The Indian Opinion
The tired narrative that Indian cricket has a 'fitness problem' misses the point. What we are seeing is the inevitable result of a packed calendar and a generation of fast bowlers pushed to their limit. The test for the BCCI is not just treatment but prevention: will they finally enforce workload management and rest policies, or keep patching up players for the next IPL? The real question is how many of these eight or nine absent stars will miss the next Test series.
