The Indian players, who competed in the ODI series against Australia, will take a break of three to four days before joining their respective IPL franchises for the tournament, which begins on March 31.

News agency PTI reported that all the players, who are in the World Cup scheme of things, will have their workload management monitored and hence the rest is going to be paramount.

"Some players might join their IPL camps directly but they will have an option of taking a three-four day break and relax at home before touching base with their respective IPL teams," a BCCI source told the agency.

Even if the players directly join the training camp, it is unlikely that they would be training for at least next 72 hours.

Shreyas Iyer to miss entire IPL, could miss ODI World Cup too

Shreyas Iyer is all set to undergo lower back surgery and will not take any part in the IPL, according to sources in the board.

The decision is being taken keeping the player's best interest in mind as surgery right now will give him an outside chance of at least making a comeback before the World Cup in October, although chances of making it for the marquee event also look dim at the moment.

Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna are the two players who have already undergone back surgery.
