Definitely [can play all the games], we are used to playing Test cricket so four overs is a breeze. There is no workload issues at all. You start prioritising sleep, refuelling and those kinds of things but in terms of getting up for the game, it is fine. We have done it loads of times, loads of IPL games are kind of play, fly to the other side of the country and play again. Same with BBL. It is not necessarily new. It will be busy but we are kind of used to it.”
