Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said that it is high time for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to rotate players and reduce injuries.
Akram backed India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's view that too much of cricket is being played round the year and that is increasing the chances of players getting injured.
"It's high time the BCCI did something about rotating players to avert the injury crisis the team is facing right now. Dhoni is one hundred per cent right. Indian players are playing cricket round the year and they need adequate rest to recharge their batteries. But that is not happening, " Akram was quoted as saying by Mobile ESPN.
Akram, however, rubbished suggestions made by England all-rounder Tim Bresnan that they are on their way to another whitewash of India in the 5-ODI series, starting from September 3.
"That, for me, is going overboard. It's true India did not play to their potential in the Test series and that England were sublime in all departments. But this is another ball game. For me, India are going as favourites in the series," he said.
"They have got Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are proven match-winners in the limited-overs format."
