Well, so much so for the "rest" that they wanted from January 20th. I am wondering if India would not have approached Sri Lanka for the series, would the players have opted to "rest" in January or complete the whole tour of Pakistan in one leg?
and I am wondering what will happen if NZ accommodates extra test match that India has requested and then India rules out the series with SL? I am sure they will get plenty of rest then :)
