Australian star batter warns Cameron Green over India T20 League due to workload
Australian star cricketer David Warner warned Cameron Green about the hectic schedule in the Indian T20 League 2023. Warner has a lot of experience in the cash-rich league and he is mindful of the workload ahead in the tournament.
Australia will face a crammed schedule next year, starting with a four-Test tour of India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy followed by the Indian T20 League and a potential World Test Championship final. They also have the Ashes series in England in June followed by the 50-over World Cup in India.
Green has recently confirmed that he has registered for the upcoming mini-auction and is excited to take the field in the tournament next year. The 23-year-old smashed two fantastic half-centuries in Australia’s T20I tour of India in September, at a stupendous strike rate of 214.54.

Warner said that the cash-rich league in India could take a big impact on the mind and body of the players. The Delhi Franchise opener reflected on his own experience and said that it can be challenging for Green as it is going to be his first trip.
“From an experience point of view, it’s great. From a playing point of view, he’s got four Test matches and a few one-dayers after it. Nineteen weeks straight in India, being your first trip as well can be quite challenging from the heat perspective, the playing, the recovery.” Warner was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
“I’ve been through it, I’ve done the Test series and the Indian T20 League straight before (in 2017). It is tough. Then on the back of that, you’ve got five Test matches in England. Then I think you’ve got 20 days off before you go to (South) Africa and then go to a World Cup.” He said.
He also gave an instance of star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell who took a mental health break in late 2019 due to a heavy and hectic cricketing schedule.
“Glenn Maxwell did it a couple of years ago, played the whole year, and then was cooked come the season. From a youngster’s point of view, it’s totally up to him, it’s his decision he has to make.” He added.
