Lack of organization between the players and BCCI was the reason why the team was shamed in the tour of England, says former captain Kapil Dev.
Kapil Dev also insists that Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men should tell the Board that they cannot compete continuously for months.
India be whitewashed 0-4 in the Test series and went down 0-3 in the five-match ODI series against England. The team failed to win a single international match on the sweltering tour.
"The BCCI should appreciate that our players are not so fit, that they can play non-stop all through the year. Just a few months after the World Cup, so many of our players are wounded which is a worrisome factor," Kapil told a TV channel.
"If the Board and the players cannot decide, then there should be some knowledgeable professionals who should finalize the amount of cricket the players need to play in a year," he said.
Kapil said the Indian teams deserve a break after the World Cup triumph.
"There was so much pressure and hype during the World Cup. It was such a big victory but our players never got a chance to relax," he said.
"They kept on playing cricket which eventually resulted in their passion also fizzle out. One should appreciate that cricket is a sport and not a normal office which they have to attend day in and day out," he rational.
Kapil also pointed out the weaknesses in the Indian team. "How can you have just four bowlers bowling 90 overs in English conditions? Things were unlike earlier when you had Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly chipping in and giving rest to the main bowlers," he said.
"However, now it is not probable. I think that the selectors got approved away after the World Cup win. Team for a tour of Australia, South Africa or England should always be selected keeping in view the circumstances there," he added.
