4 match ODI series against WI ridiculous: Manjrekar

New Delhi, July 02: Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has questioned the logic behind Indian cricket team’s on-going four-match one-day series in the Caribbean and said with an already crammed international schedule in place, such tours only add to the players’ exhaustion.

India flew straight to the West Indies after their disappointing ouster in the Super Eight stage of the Twenty20 World Cup in England.

Defending champion India’s early exit from Twenty20 World Cup also raised serious questions over the fitness of players, who seemed to be struggling with their forms and consistency with the series against the West Indies currently levelled at 1-1.

“I think it’s a slightly ridiculous idea that you travel all the way to the West Indies and just play four one-day internationals, that too immediately after the World T20.
