David Warner admits it's difficult to understand clashes in cricket's over-crowded schedule amid reports Australia is hunting a specialist T20 coach.
Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer, Jason Gillespie and current stand-in coach David Saker are among the names being headhunted for the role, according to News Corp Australia.
With Darren Lehmann leaving the tour of India to Saker, the schedule would be a key factor if Australia decided to lighten the load for the head coach.
Australia's camp in Dubai before the Test tour of India forced players to miss the home T20 series with Sri Lanka in February.
The last match of the Sri Lanka series was four days before the first Test in Pune.
"It's a very tough schedule," Warner said.
"When you're playing a long series and then you've got Test matches coming up or you're playing a Test match like we did and there was a Twenty20 on, it's quite hard as a player to understand why.
"But these things are put in place years in advance."
But the Australia vice-captain, who is leading the side in the T20 series against India, didn't want to weigh in on the merits of a coach for the shortest form of the game.
"From a playing point of view we've just got to concentrate on playing cricket," Warner said.
"I'm not going to sit here and say we should or we shouldn't. At the end of the day we've just got to go out there and play the best cricket we can."
Australia's limited-overs tour of India is sandwiched between two Tests in Bangladesh and the home Ashes which is a little more than six weeks away.
The tourists have struggled in India, losing the ODIs 4-1 and staring down the barrel of another series defeat if they don't win Tuesday's T20 in Guwahati.
