Posted on 11th Sep 2023 by rohit kumar

The Super Four match between India and Pakistan will now be played on Reserve Day i.e. today. Due to rain on Sunday, play could not be played after 24.1 overs of the first innings. Now India and Pakistan will have to play on Monday. According to the playing conditions of the reserve day, now if there is no rain on Monday, the entire 50-50 overs match will be played. This has put Team India in big trouble.

 

Actually, after playing the match against Pakistan on Monday, the Indian team also has to play a match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, 12th September. This will also be a 50-50-over match. In such a situation, Team India will be seen in action for three consecutive days, which can become a problem for the Indian players before the World Cup.

 

World Cup to be played from October 5

 

The World Cup is to be played from October 5 this year. Before that, the Asia Cup was being considered as a means of preparation. However, this tournament seems to be becoming more of a source of injury for the Indian players than preparation. The Indian team for the World Cup has been announced. The same Indian team which has been selected for this Asia Cup will play in it. Just the famous Krishna and Tilak Verma have not been selected.

 

Impact of reserve day on workload?

 

However, ACC-BCCI has put Indian players in trouble. Due to the popularity of the India-Pakistan match, fans eagerly waited for this match. The match between the two was washed out due to rain during the group stage of the Asia Cup. In such a situation, ACC, under the leadership of Asian Cricket Council President Jay Shah, had announced a reserve day for the Super Four match between India and Pakistan in the presence of all the member boards.

 

But reserve day was kept only for this match of the four stages. All remaining matches were to be played on the same scheduled day. This decision of ACC was also criticized a lot. Many former cricketers condemned keeping the reserve day for just one match. However, the decision was upheld.

 

No gap between India's two matches

 

The Super Four match between India and Pakistan on September 10 could not be completed due to rain. In such a situation, reserve day will be used, but it can be fatal for the players of Team India. While all the countries are getting a good gap between two matches, Team India will have to play two consecutive matches. In such a situation, the question is being raised that if ACC had to keep a reserve day then why a proper gap was not kept between the two matches of Team India?

 

Questions are being raised about ACC's decision

On one hand, captain Rohit Sharma is seen citing workload when important players get injured, then Will playing three consecutive days and two matches in two consecutive days not put pressure on the players or make them tired? Questions are being raised about BCCI and ACC for taking such a risk just before the World Cup. The World Cup squad of the Indian team includes those players who are currently the top players in the country. In such a situation, his continuous playing of cricket can prove fatal.

 

Will some players rest against Sri Lanka?

 

In such a situation, if the India-Pakistan match is played for 50 overs on September 11, then the thing to be seen will be whether some players will be rested against Sri Lanka. India has to bowl in the second innings against Pakistan and then in the match against Sri Lanka, If Team India bowls first, it can also prove to be dangerous. Jasprit Bumrah has recently returned from injury. At the same time, Siraj and Shardul will also be at risk of fatigue and becoming unfit. Everyone's eyes are fixed on whether this decision of ACC will become a problem for Team India in the World Cup.
