Honestly may not be a popular opinion but your board is treating your players pretty disgracefully.
You had 2-3 months of nonstop WC prep, then a six week long world cup. About a week/week and a half later you were jetted to SL for an absolutely worthless series then almost immediately after that a Test match and now a t20 tri series.
Mental health is a big part of sport. Your players have been significantly overworked in my opinion and while it doesnt absolve them of blame, its a factor.
They should've had a minimum of 3 weeks off after spending over two months abroad in a hyper competitive environment. Instead they were barely home before flying off again and playing several series in a row. Awful player management.
Shouldnt be a surprise some of your all format players look so jaded. Who wouldnt be with all this cricket. Had barely two weeks off between the world cup and the SL series. A joke.
