EPL will hasten player's burnout

Listing some of the benefits of a Stanford backed EPL, Simon Wilde writes,

 

At a stroke, England's top stars could be enriched by millions of pounds for only a few extra days of work, and crucially saved from burning themselves out playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL),

 

If by burnout he means being burnt by the hot sun playing in India, he has a point. However, if he thinks that playing in the EPL will prevent player burnout, then he is sadly mistaken.

 

What will happen is that, the differing schedules will tempt the English players to 'maximise' their income by playing in both the IPL and the EPL, thereby increasing the chance of player's burnout.

 

Do you agree?

Not only Englishmen , no player would mind playing even when he is reduced to a skeleton in the hot sun here or a cold wave there. The only problem would be, how to identify the players as all would be skeletons.
