With a packed cricket schedule recently with tour of Australia and playing Sri Lanka in India, life of a cricketer is spent mostly on the road.

In the coming few months, it is only going to get ‘worse’ with back-to-back Asia Cup, World T20 and then Indian Premier League (IPL), cricketers and people associated with the game will be spending their life out of a suitcase.

Commentator Harsha Bhogle put the situation best with a tweet.

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe_form = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-form-9bf71ee8d786a18ce707472462a58084-56c972ad36cfc'); var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-9bf71ee8d786a18ce707472462a58084-56c972ad36cfc'); if ( iframe_form && iframe ) { iframe_form.submit(); iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-9bf71ee8d786a18ce707472462a58084-56c972ad36cfc' }, window.location.protocol + '//wpcomwidgets.com' ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'wpcomwidgets.com' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )();

 

Even with Ravichandran Ashwin quipping about the infamous Dhaka traffic.

Opener Rohit Sharma had been sharing quality time with his wife Ritika Sajdeh as he went about shopping, watching movies on Valentines Day and basically getting used to being a married man. But now that Asia Cup is on the horizon, the players have to part from their loved ones to get back to the rigor of international cricket.

Here he shares how the couple who got married in December stay connected through Facetime.
