Andy Flower admit some of England's key players may need to rest for part of this year's frantic international agenda.
The likes of Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood and Graeme Swann has been a match in the side for the last 12 months, and their workload shows no signs of being reduced in the pending years with England due to play Bangladesh, Pakistan and Australia in a figure of Odis, tests and Twenty20 matches.
"We have a very busy 12 months ahead of us, and we need to rest players at different times," England team director Flower told a news meeting Tuesday.
"In some situation it is possible that we have to rest some players, either for moving reasons like stress, and from time to time for strength and training purposes.
"The plan will be hard to fit enough strength and training in."
Andrew Strauss will come back to England captain in the two-Test series next to Bangladesh next week, after a four-month nonattendance from international cricket.
