Last year, just before the Black Caps’ World T20 campaign was about to commence, Ferguson had a muscle tear and had to give the global meet a miss.
“Yeah, it was a small tear that put me out for three weeks and I missed the WT20 which was perhaps the most frustrating time one had to endure, that too before the first game,” he rued.
He feels that managing workload in a bubble life and playing three matches in a week for two months does have its flip side also, which one needs to be very careful about.
“Last couple of years have been challenging because of the amount of cricket we have played and the bubble life and when you are playing three games a week…”
“It’s very difficult for a fast bowler to recover. It’s okay if you are doing it for a couple of weeks but after some time, you are perhaps burning the candle at both ends,” he concluded.
