England cricket captain Michael Vaughan warns of burnout
England cricket captain Michael Vaughan wants event schedulers to be careful about player burnout when planning an expansion in one-day games.
"When you get asked to play something like seven one-day internationals you start to see fatigue creeping in and players mentally not switching on.
"They're mentally fatigued from being away, playing every single day, training every day," Michael Vaughan warned.
"There is an area you would like more leeway, where we're asked to play so many after a gruelling Test series," Michael Vaughan added.
Michael Vaughan, who is recovering from an operation on his knee, is one of many England sporting stars currently injured, although he focused on the mental effects of burnout rather than physical problems.
South Africa all-rounder Jaques Kallis, out of action at the moment following elbow surgery, backed up what Michael Vaughan had said:
"The amount of cricket has increased over the years and it's taking its toll on players," Jacques Kallis said.
