India's limited overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday admitted that playing three formats at one go during an away series takes a toll on the body and would ideally prefer to play a single format during future overseas assignments.
Asked about the scheduling, Virat Kohli's deputy and one of India's premier white ball players replied: "There have been talks about playing just one format and then going back home. For India, it's never been like that. India have always played the whole series whenever we have gone abroad. And yes it tends to take a lot out of your body more than anything else."
However Rohit's take was not entirely researched because India now have a contract with Cricket Australia wherein they play Test matches and limited overs series on separate tours.
"We have spoken about it that one format will be good for the players sake. But previous Indian teams have toured and done the full series and gone back. Whereas it's different for the overseas teams, they come to India, they play just one format, they go back, get refreshed and come back," Rohit lamented.
