Overview
- Modi, who posted on X on Wednesday, accused the BCCI of overworking players and said the board is “killing” them with relentless fixtures.
- The IPL final is set for May 31, with a one-off Test against Afghanistan starting June 6 in Mullanpur, leaving only six days for recovery.
- An NDTV report said head coach Gautam Gambhir is unhappy with the tight turnaround, and coverage indicates selectors may rest seniors and use reserve Test players.
- The Afghanistan Test carries no World Test Championship points, which could make rotation easier but raises concerns about red-ball readiness.
- Modi urged reforms such as a board led by more former players, a professional CEO, stronger human resources, and better stadium experiences for fans, while past home Test defeats and Shubman Gill’s call for a two‑week camp underscore preparation concerns.
