With cricket calendar getting more and more jam-packed in recent years, it has become difficult for the players to take a breather during a series.

Indian cricketers are the biggest of this daunting schedule. In the ongoing tour of England, the Indian team also turned up on two consecutive days for the second and third T20Is.

In order to manage the schedule in a better way, India skipper Rohit Sharma has suggested the cricket boards to organize tri-series or quadrangular series, which will provide more rest days and players will be seen in action with more intensity.

"I do think it is important but it can be managed in a better way for sure. The scheduling has to be done with some space as well. You have to play bilateral series," Rohit Sharma said when asked if bilateral series are losing relevance with the growingly busy calendar.

"There was a time, when we were kids, I grew up, I watched a lot of tri-series or quadrangular series, but that has completely stopped. I think that can be a way forward so that there is enough time for a team to recover and get back," he stated.

"These all are high-pressure games that we play, whenever you represent your country, you want to come out with a lot of intensity," he explained.

According to Rohit, better scheduling will also see top players featuring in every match for the country.

"You do not want to compromise on that so of course, I do understand when we play the bilateral series, the scheduling, time between each game can be managed slightly better, not just from India's perspective, but all boards," Rohit said.

"If that happens, you see the best quality of players coming out and representing every game. When you play back-to-back games, you have to look after players and understand the workload," he added.

"Honestly, from the outside world, people want to see all the best players playing and if those things are managed quite well, the quality of cricket will not be compromised," the India captain concluded.

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team is currently playing a three-match ODI series against England. The series is levelled at 1-1 after the first two matches.

The decider will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester on Sunday (July 17).
