India to Play More Test Matches - Captain Dhoni
Indian captain Dhoni said that India will play more tests in 2010 to have a chance in defending their number one rankings in test cricket.
After receiving the mace for ICC (International Cricket Council) test championship from Haroon Logart (ICC Chief Executive), Dhoni said, “Quite a few Test matches are on proposal and I don't think that we will play only four Tests next year. We will play more than that.”
On becoming the number one ranked team in the world, he said,
"It is a special feeling to receive this mace. I am taking this on behalf of the team and the BCCI. Being an Indian, it is a proud moment. We have really worked hard as a team in the last 14 months to get to this position. We want to remain here longer and everything depends on our performance."
It’s brilliant to see that the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) have woken up to the fact that India needs to play more test matches in 2010. The CSA (Cricket South Africa) have already agreed to alter their upcoming series against India to include two test matches which is a welcome relief. Even Gautam Ghambir echoed his captain’s sentiments by saying that India needs to play more test cricket.
