Veteran commentator Harsha Bhogle who is now in the UAE for the second phase of the IPL 2021 on Commentary duty, has talked about India’s busy home schedule after the T20 World Cup 2021. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have announced Team India’s entire schedule for the home season after the T20 WC 2021. The home season will last for seven months until July 2022 and will see India hosting New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. India’s home season will start just three days after the finals of the T20 WC, i.e. on September 17 against the Blackcaps, who will play three T20Is and two Test matches. This series will also embark on a new era for India in the shortest format of the game as skipper Virat Kohli will be stepping down as a captain.
Harsha Bhogle voiced his opinion about India’s schedule and termed it as a “packed” one. He also cited an interesting fact stating that if India and New Zealand make it to the finals of the T20 World Cup 2021, they will have no time to rest as they will meet again three days later in Jaipur for 1st T20I.
Packed season announced by @BCCI. If, by chance, India and New Zealand make the final of the #ICCT20WorldCup2021 on Nov 14th, they will fly out immediately and play each other again on the 17th in Jaipur. They will join Sri Lanka and the West Indies as visiting sides this year
