Former Indian Captain Bishan Singh Bedi has said that the Indian Team has over worked over the past calendar year and needs desperate rest at this point. He also lauded the Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar’s decision of opting out of the West Indies Tour which consists of only four ODI matches.

The former Indian Captain said "You can't blame the Indian team completely for the recent performances. They are overworked and desperately need some rest. They may not be complaining publicly how exhausted they are right now, but they must be talking about it in private. Pakistan is the new Twenty20 champion because their players were fresh,"

And regarding Sachin’s decision to opt out bedi said “What is the point of travelling all the way to West Indies for just four matches. Tendulkar is an intelligent man and I give him full marks for opting out of the series. Right now, Indian team is missing him more than he is missing the team,"

If players are not to be blamed for such performances, who is to be blamed? "Of course, the cricket board should take the responsibility and chalk out a proper schedule so that the players get enough time to be with their family and also give 100 per cent on the field," Bedi ended.
