Re: The state of fast bowling: 'Excessive cricket is hurting fast bowlers'
The time has come for all countries to have a pool of 20-25 players (consisting of batsmen, bowlers and wicket-keepers) and rotate players from this pool continually.
Given that teams, these days, are playing cricket pretty much 10-12 months a year, I cannot see how fast bowlers can maintain top-notch fitness levels for that long.
The problem is - playing professional Cricket is a short-term career option (and even in that span of time somebody is always breathing down your neck for your place in the side), so given this insecurity....most players today have no choice but to accept playing non-stop Cricket.
