Birmingham Bears skipper Alex Davies says the T20 Blast schedule is 'not sustainable for elite sport' due to lack of recovery time.
Birmingham Bears captain Alex Davies says this year's T20 Blast schedule is "not sustainable for elite sport" due to the lack of recovery time between some games.They were forced to leave out England T20 international Richard Gleeson as he had not recovered in time from the Old Trafford trip - and his replacement Aamer Jamal suffered a nightmare T20 debut, hit for 25 from the Pakistan international's only over.
"Having to leave one of your best international bowlers out because he hasn't got time to recover for the game is disappointing. But they were only a little more than an hour's drive away from Edgbaston at Leicester - half the travel time back from Manchester. He smashed just 63 in 27 balls, including a six and three fours in taking 20 runs off Jamal's one eight-ball fifth over, having hit 18 off four balls off George Garton two overs earlier.
