Rohit: 'You want your best players to play all games, but that's not possible'
With 10 Tests to be played in 15 weeks, India have "laid out some plans" to manage the workload of fast bowlers.
India are coming off a break of more than a month without any cricket - "We are starting after a long time actually", the captain Rohit Sharma said - but they are also aware of the strain that their schedule over the next few months can place on their players, particularly their fast bowlers.
India begin the first of 10 Tests in 15 weeks against Bangladesh on Thursday, and they already have plans in place to protect the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, who might be needed to take on heavy workloads when they travel to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in November through to January.
"We have laid out some plans on how we are going to manage these bowlers," Rohit said. "But again, it all depends on the workload that has been carried by them in these games.
