With the cricket calendar getting more and more cramped, South Africa's star wicket-keeper Mark Boucher today said the ICC should look into the "burn out" issue of players and hold a discussion with the board and players of different nations to solve the problem.
"It's in ICC's interest to look after the players. So I feel its time for the ICC officials to sit down with the players and Boards of different nations and chalk out the future schedule of tournaments and try to solve the issue," Boucher told a press conference in New Delhi.
On the ongoing Indian Premier league, Boucher said his team Royal Challengers Bangalore has struggled to find the right combination.
"We are still looking for the right opening combination. There are a lot of good players who want to play and it is becoming very difficult to pick up the winning combination. We are still looking for a structure," he said.
Boucher also termed the absence of Ross Taylor, who would be leaving soon for the Australian series, as a "big loss".
"It is a big loss to lose Ross at this crucial time. Ross has been in good form. He has been providing momentum to the team but I guess we can't help that. However, we have players like Misbah-ul-Haq ready to jump in his position and play an important role," he said.
