The salary of a domestic player in India is not that high. It is much lower than what the English players receive from county cricket. So lack of tournaments can push the domestic players to the edge.
I have read in a thread here that the domestic players are earning around $500 per day or something like that in India and these players need to play the match to earn their living as they will not be having any other source of income and i hope that all the domestic sports starts inside a bubble rather than pushing the athlete to leave the sport and do something else to earn a living.The salary of a domestic player in India is not that high.

For a four-day domestic match, the players receive around ₹140,000 ($1900) as the match fee. For T20 and ODI matches, it is around one-fourth of this amount. In a normal domestic season, a regular player can expect to earn around ₹2,000,000 ($27,000), which is not a bad amount in India. But the problem is that in Indian domestic cricket there is no contract system. So the players will be unpaid, if there are no tournaments being conducted.

What the heck are you talking about? How do you expect the BCCI to organize tournaments effectively when the world is struggling thanks to the pandemic? Very silly statement to be honest. The players had plenty of time to focus on their fitness thanks to Corona.
If they could organize an 8-team IPL tournament in UAE (which has one of the highest infection rates for COVID 19 in the world), then what prevented from organizing a few domestic matches in India? Almost every other cricket playing nation has restarted the domestic tournaments and India is probably the only one which hasn't done that yet. Obviously domestic cricket is a very low priority in India.
If you are looking for normal situation, it might take years and until that time you cannot halt everything. If a cricket board or any sporting board has the finance to conduct the test and resume the games under a bubble they can resume that rather than holding back the matches and the careers as these players depend on matches to earn their living.
Economic activity has restarted around the world. Now medics are more informed about the COVID 19 pandemic, and it is easier to set up bio-secure bubbles. Even the BCCI was planning to conduct the IPL 2020 in India, before they decided to move it to the UAE (for saving tax). The salary of a domestic player in India is not that high. It is much lower than what the English players receive from county cricket. So lack of tournaments can push the domestic players to the edge.
Do you understand that the world is not completely free from covid-19 yet. BCCI and any other board should not resume all the matches including the domestics ones. Resuming domestic games at this time will mean that all the players have to take covid-19 tests and there will be risk of getting infected. So why not keep domestic series on halt until the situation is back to normal.

Sporting activities have resumed all over the world. Apart from India, almost all the other countries are conducting domestic tournaments right now. One of the most popular T20 leagues, the BBL will start next week. When all the other boards can conduct cricket matches, why BCCI is having so much issue in doing the same? Even in India, the infection rates are declining.

This covid-19 may also effect further series. Pak VS NZ series also looks to be cancelled or delayed because there are wondering How did so many Pakistan players test Covid-positive?
Also Pakistan not granted exemption for group training during isolation

BTW, rather than blaming the players, the finger should be pointed at the BCCI. Before the IPL, they failed to organize any cricket tournament (domestic/international) for more than 6 months. The players became rusty, and it was not surprising.

The New Zealand government even warned the Pakistanis that they would be deported if the quarantine norms are not strictly followed.
I didn't know this. Damn. They should have done a better job though I am not completely sure who should be blamed here. I hope they figure out a solution soon. Bio-bubble in UAE was 100% effective thankfully and we got to enjoy a ton of entertaining matches in the midst of this pandemic.
It was never easy to manage so many players and supporting staff. But to their credit, the BCCI managed it extremely well. Not a single player tested positive for COVID 19. On the other hand, the Pakistan team is touring New Zealand currently, and several positive cases came up in their camp. The New Zealand government even warned the Pakistanis that they would be deported if the quarantine norms are not strictly followed.
JSRAW likes to tease Rohit as the Vada Pav man which is why he isn't seriously criticizing Rohit or anything. However, it would be beneficial for Rohit to drop a few pounds since other popular players in the team like Kohli, Pandya etc are way thinner in comparison.
As long as Rohit is performing, no one is going to complain about his weight gain. BTW, you can't compare Virat with other players because he is such a fitness freak. And Hardik is much younger than Rohit and he doesn't have to worry much about gaining weight (also being a pace bowler helps).

.There is also no need to blame BCCI because BCCI was not responsible for the pandemic situation in India. The players are still fit and some of them are in form, which is good for the upcoming T20.
Every player is responsible for his own fitness if they want to be part of the national team. No one is forcing them to be a fitness freak it is their own choice. Being a fitness freak and not able to perform can still make you sit on the bench or out of the team.

Reducing weight for an athlete is not going to be a tough task and Rohit done well in IPL as well so we can see him back in action real soon, injuries are more concerned compared to weight gains by players so BCCI wants to keep the prime players as 100% fit for the important tournament and series.

Most of the players were playing more than a dozen matches each. Although we can claim that T20 is a less demanding format, playing so many matches in a row might have exhausted most of them. And these players didn't had any match practice for almost 6 months and they were suddenly thrown in to the glitz of IPL.
True. Biggest point you forgot to mention is the risk of getting infected by Corona which is way more serious than most physical injuries. However, very few got affected luckily and recovered quickly too.Bio-bubble in UAE was 100% effective thankfully and we got to enjoy a ton of entertaining matches in the midst of this pandemic.

On flat pitches both batsmen are dangerous and Rohit is miles ahead of everyone when batting on flat pitch as he has a habit of gets going and 3 double 100s confirms that so its obvious that India missed him badly at the top order. I really hope that he comes back and he should take his fitness more seriously and eat less vada pav. 
That is applicable for the other players as well. Rohit is not the only player who gained lots of weight during the pandemic period. Even youngsters such as Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant seems to have gained at least 5-10 kg during this period. Rohit is in his 30s and therefore his "gains" are more visible. On the other hand, look at the Australian players. All of them look 100% fit.
The difference may be due to the fact that CA is conducting domestic cricket this year, while the BCCI doesn't have a plan for the same. Especially for those Indian players who are not a part of the IPL, staying fit is quite challenging due to the lack of opportunities in domestic cricket.
