5 areas of concern for India's T20 team

#3 Workload mismanagement

Yes, agreed this team is playing the most any Indian team has ever played. They are also playing in different countries, cities than they were a decade ago, which also means a lot of days in travel as well. Having said that, it is for this very physical demands of the modern game, that India has put in some measures to assess the fitness of players with tests like the Yo-Yo test. The players are supposed to be at the best of their physical prowess to score in these tests & make themselves fit for selections. The support team of physios, massage therapists, analysts, etc. are also as big as the playing squad itself. Their main objective is to improve the level of player fitness, keeping them injury-free. In spite of all this, why are players getting injured now and then? Why do their workloads need to be managed, in the first place? Shouldn't they be fit enough?

The nature of these fitness tests are also dubious -- there have been reports of players being dropped in spite of scoring well in these tests. Even so-called workload management is questionable. The fittest player in the country, Ravindra Jadeja, why he is being rested? Where is Vijay Shankar, the player who cost Ambati Rayudu a World Cup place and also in a way, put a hard stop to his career? Where is Kedar Jadhav? In terms of balls played in the calendar year, there is hardly any difference in terms of workload between Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma. However, often there are calls to rest Virat instead of Rohit. When you set high standards for fitness with Yo-Yo tests etc. and then go on long breaks to keep yourself fit, how fair it is to drop people based on their fitness. Sunil Gavaskar himself said, why to play senseless and contextless series & then rest key players for those series, hurting India in the long run.
