Cricket Australia High-Performance Manager Says Crowded Schedule Is To Stay

Cricket Australia High-Performance Manager Pat Howard believes fans and players "will just have to get used to seeing two Australian cricket teams in action," according to Peter Lalor of THE AUSTRALIAN. The "crowded fixture list has become a bone of contention for the Australian Cricketers Association, the public and other countries." Players advocate and former Test opener Simon Katich believes the scheduling "devalues the significance of playing for your country," and said that caps were being handed out left, right and center. Howard, who makes the decision about when players are rested, "indicated the situation was unlikely to change much in the near future and people should get used to inexperienced players filling in the gaps." He said, "To a certain extent I want to embrace. We've done better and performed better when players have really lavished the opportunity, versus it being tacked on at the end of a long season" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 10/27).
