IPL big reason behind England’s success in white-ball formats - Giles

The Hindu  

England cricketers’ presence in the Indian Premier League has helped the team achieve the No. 1 rank in white-ball formats and they aren’t forced to choose between playing IPL and playing for England, according to ECB managing director Ashley Giles. We should stick to that, from a contractual point of view as much as anything.” Former spinner Giles, who played 54 Tests and 62 ODIs between 1997 and 2006, defended England’s much-criticised rotation policy, saying it is being done to keep players fresh ahead of the ICC World T20 and the Ashes, scheduled to be held later this year. We have two really important strategic objectives that we’re heading towards at the end of the year: the T20 World Cup and the Ashes. We’ve still got a lot left in us; we want to hold both white-ball trophies - that would be a fantastic effort for this team - and we want to win the Ashes back in Australia.” Giles feels it is necessary to rest players to avoid burnout in an extremely tough year marred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
