Sunil Gavaskar calls for one-month rest window in cricket calendar

Sunil Gavaskar has urged the BCCI to implement a mandatory one-month rest for players each year, following India's 3-0 ODI series sweep over Afghanistan. He emphasized the importance of player welfare amidst a busy schedule post-IPL 2026. Gavaskar critiqued the practice of resting senior players for workload management, advocating for fielding the strongest available side. He stressed that while opportunities for younger players are essential, senior players should also receive proper breaks. India's next matches include a T20I series against Ireland starting soon.
