Hectic schedule worries Nielsen

The pace duo of Brett Lee and Doug Bollinger and spinner Nathan Hauritz are part of the NSW outfit which won Champions League.

They have been in India since the first week of October,along with Victoria squad members Peter Siddle,Cameron White and Jon Holland. Victoria were eliminated by NSW in an all-Australian semi-final. Nielsen pointed out that those members of NSW,who were part of the Ashes series in England,had been on the road for a long time.

Those guys on the New South Wales team who were on the Ashes tour have not been home for six months which is a huge ask. Most of our group members had a week and a half at home in that period. If you have a family it can be difficult, he explained.

At the same time we are all doing something we really love and we realise we are in a privileged position, he said.
