Former India captain Kapil Dev stated that India need to develop a mindset of getting as many players to bowl as possible in the nets. India have been struggling to find a alternative for fast bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya in Test cricket. The 27-year-old’s back injury and subsequent surgery meant that he has not performed a Test match since India’s last tour of England in September 2018.
“What I feel is that when you play 10 months of cricket in a year, you tend to get injured more. And cricket today is very basic you either perform with the bat or the ball. But in our time, we had to do everything,” Kapil stated on Sports Yaar Youtube channel.
“So cricket today has changed. Sometimes it is saddening to see a player getting tired after bowling just 4 overs and I’ve heard they’re not allowed to bowl more than 3 or 4 overs,” he stated.
Kapil stated that in his days, players bowled at least 10 overs regardless of which position they batted at.
“I remember in our time I won’t say whether it’s right or wrong even the last player who would come out and bat during the nets, we would end up bowling 10 overs to them as well. So that mindset has to be developed and that helps build muscles. Today perhaps those 4 overs are enough for them so we feel for our generation it feels a bit strange,” Kapil stated.
