After the grand success of the IPL, there are few victims of the new found money minting league in world cricket. Great players like Hayden,Sachin,Akhtar are unfit for national duty. Sachin came into the later part of the IPL to help his city team Mumbai Indians and every one thought he was fully fit but, he has aggravated his injury and out of action for Indian teams ODI tournament. Hayden's heel injury is said to have been sustained in the early stages of the tour to the West Indies but i doubt that he should have aggravated an injury carried through the IPL. If players with such good fitness fail to take this format, one can imagine the fate of players like Zaheer,M.Karthick etc who are prone for injuries and again not fit for selection.
IPL is played in the peak summer in India, Even the 3 hours T20 game will drain the players and the way the matches are scheduled with just one day break and hell a lot of traveling as, one home and away is the scheme of things and the kind of noise in the stadiums in sub-continent could take everything from the players.In one of my earlier posts I had mentioned that its very tough on the players and it has proved right.
I am a great fan of Sachin and have come across articles which point to, that he never would want to miss a match and its sad that he has been missing many international matches on lack of fitness. Wish Sachin saves his fitness for some more years to play Test Cricket for India, rather than playing the numerous T20 games.
