Why are BCCI so Money Hungry?
Australia and england cricket boards really look after there players, and makesure they give sufficient amount of rest to cricket players between season or tours. However that is tottaly the opposite for indian cricket, Despite india being by far the richest cricketing and infact sporting board in the world.
For example, this is the amount of cricket india has played this year.
4 test matches vs Australia, 1st Janaury- Feburary. 5 weeks
10 ODIs vs Sri Lanka and Aussies, Feburaury – March. 4 weeks
3 Test matches vs South Africa, March – April. 3 weeks
Shi* slog bore of IPL, April – June. 7 bloody weeks
Kitply Cup, June. 2 weeks
Asia Cup, June – July. 4 weeks
3 Test matches vs Sri Lanka, July – August. 4 weeks
5 ODIs vs Sri Lanka, August 2 weeks
ICC Champions trophy, Semptember 3 weeks
4 Test matches vs Australia, October – Novemember 4 weeks
7 ODIs vs England, Novemember – Decemember 3 weeks
2 Test matches vs England, Decemember 2 weeks
India are playing a series for a whopping 42 weeks, with only about 8 – 10 weeks rest between series. Not to mention practise games, Touring other countries, advertisements, Traveling constantly ect…
No wonder why india are bad starters in a series even at home, because they hardly get any rest between series and preparation before hand. At least the indian players knew, they could have about 6-8 weeks holiday or rest from cricket in succession, but that is totally shattered by the Slog bore of IPL.
Is the BCCI Ruining indian cricket, with there selfish money plotting motives?
EDIT:
I Know india has a lot of superstars in cricket, mostly in there test side, but you cant kill them with overdrive of cricket.
I mean, was the Kitply cup really neccessary, or even this Sri Lanka Series, even though it has been thrilling to watch so far.
BCCI is killing indian cricket. Its going to be fascinating to see the state of indian cricket once the greates leave. India in my opinion are fuc*ed in test without them. Icant see anyone replacing Sachin or Dravid.
EDIT:
this schedule is just way too taxing, moreover the tours are unsettled, in terms of how it is arranged. India never have a settled plan of when playing at home or away, like england, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, ect…

I see you’ve got no answers………………..
If you actually ponder upon the various reasons as to why India plays so much crikcet, the most prominent reason would be the fact that Indians love watching cricket. And especially their team. Many people have said this about Indian cricket but we are sure that there are guys who can atleast do 3/4 of what Sachin did. It would be interesting for u and exciting for us to see what happens after the so called ‘greats’ (though I agree with that) leave…. Thats why our guys play so much cricket. Besides their cricketers- THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PLAY CRICKET.
What do you think? Answer below!
well i dont know why they do it, all they are doing is burning out there players, look at the Australian system, we play less weeks of cricket a year and it keeps us fresh, therefore not risking burnout, it gives our players time to recover from injury, and because we are not playing every week, it helps prevent injury, and CA knows that while the players are fit and playing quality cricket, that they will make money anyway, BCCI at the moment are just trying to flog the game for as much money as they can, but for grabbing money, they are risking burnout and quality
