India’s great player Sunil Gavaskar said during an event that some senior players get rest during the international calendar of the Indian cricket team.

He further said that look, I do not agree with the players taking rest (during India’s matches). off course not. You are playing for India. You don’t rest during IPL, but rest while playing for India. I do not agree with this. You have to play for India, don’t talk about comfort.

He further said that there are only 20 overs in an innings in T20. It does not affect your body.

In the first T20 match against England, many star players were rested, but even after this, India won the T20 series 2-1.
