DUBAI: Thanks to the schedule, India have taken a largely unnecessary week’s break between their first and second match. Now, they have just a day's turnaround between their last league match and the first semifinal, leaving the team with a slight worry regarding the recovery of their bowlers, especially pacemen.
Much of this haphazard scheduling owes itself to the hybrid model, with the event being staged across India and Pakistan. During India's practice session on Friday, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate highlighted the need to keep the team's bowlers fresh going into the business end of the tournament.
