India captain MS Dhoni has warned that a hectic cricket schedule will drain players both physically and mentally.

Dhoni said that the schedule will definitely hit some of the regular players who will now feature non-stop in IPL and national assignments.

The Indian players have a hectic year ahead with tours to West Indies, Australia and a home and away series against England.

IPL four will also kick-off from tomorrow after fourty-five days of world cup action.
