WI should be barred from Tests: Hughes

MELBOURNE, Dec 1: With a skipper who doesn’t even want to play Test cricket, the West Indies are in complete disarray and should be barred from the longer version of the game until they prove themselves worthy, feels former Australian captain Kim Hughes.

After their humiliating innings and a 65 runs defeat to Australia in opening Test in Brisbane, Hughes said the Caribbeans’ shoddy performance was a poor advertisement for Tests which is already battling dwindling spectator interest.

Focus on winning series: Dhoni

MUMBAI, Dec 1: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, on Tuesday, said that his team was not giving much thought to the prospect of becoming world’s number one Test side as it would only add to the pressure when they take on Sri Lanka in the third and final match starting on Wednesday.

Leading 1-0 in the series, a win in the match starting, on Wednesday, would catapult India to the top of the ICC list but Dhoni said thinking about the rankings would not let the side focus on the task at hand.
