India captain Virat Kohli makes THIS prediction for the future of cricket

With bio-secure environment taking a toll on the players mentally, Virat Kohli said they will be given breaks to recover from that and not just for workload management.

Two India squads travelling to different places at the same time could become a norm in the mentally draining world of bio-bubbles that cricketers are forced to live in amid the COVID-19 pandemic, hinted India captain Virat Kohli on Wednesday (June 2). While the Kohli-led side leaves for the WTC final against New Zealand and a five-Test series against hosts England, a second string India squad will soon be picked for the limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka in July. With bio-secure environment taking a toll on the players mentally, Kohli said they will be given breaks to recover from that and not just for workload management. “With the current structure and the kind of structure that you’re competing inside for a long period of time, it’s very difficult for the players to stay motivated and find the right kind of mental space,” Kohli said in the pre-departure press conference. “You know just confined in one area and just doing the stuff, day in day out when you’re dealing with high pressure situations. So, this (two squads) will definitely become a norm for the future,” he added.
