Billy Godleman is confident Derbyshire will be able to manage the workloads of the players during the condensed 2020 season.
The new campaign is set to begin at the start of next month, with both red ball and white ball fixtures taking place throughout August and September.
The Derbyshire skipper told BBC Radio Derby that he will be working closely with the coaches and medical staff to ensure that the bowlers are given the best possible chance to succeed, through managing their game time.
“It’s a hot topic at the moment,” Godleman added.
“Across the last decade, it has really been scrutinised in terms of the varying amounts that bowlers can bowl and their workload, to give them the best chance to perform and also avoid getting injured.
“With this condensed period, it really heightens that, but we have a fantastic Sports Science and Medical team at the club, and we’ve got some really experienced coaches.
“That, aligned with my communication with the bowlers directly, I’m confident we can make sure guys are playing enough cricket, but not bowling them into the ground.
“I think the guys are just really excited to get back out there and do what we love, which is to play cricket.
“When you think back to where we were even six weeks ago, to think we would be playing professional cricket from the first of August is something everyone within the game would have taken with both hands.”
