Players are Tired! Tight Schedule! - Dhoni

The Indian Skipper Dhoni has come out open during the post match presentation during the Asia Cup match against Bangladesh. The team dropped few catches and missed fielding few shots.

For a question the fielding lapses, Dhoni said the team is tired of playing back to back matches.

He said, "we were a bit disappointing, but one of the reasons for it is that we have played cricket for 36 of the last 84 hours."

He added, "back-to-back games make it really tough for the players. I am not really happy with the schedule: two teams are playing back-to-back games, and two teams are not. Under these conditions it is really tough, you are playing cricket throughout the year, and then you play back-to-back matches. You could make out from the start the intensity was not there. I was tired on the field," Dhoni said. "Not only me, every individual was tired."

Now it is upto the board to look into the genuine issue brought by Dhoni and address it properly! Will they do it?
