We must eradicate our flaws in the series against Sri Lanka, says MS Dhoni – Cricket News Update
The Indian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, admits that his side needs to work hard to eradicate some of their flaws and emphasized that starting the new season well is extremely crucial for the morale of the squad.
The Men in Blue landed in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 yesterday to take part in a limited-overs series, consisting of five ODIs and a T20 International, starting from Saturday at Hambantota.
Dhoni’s men have struggled in international cricket since their title triumph in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup 2011, losing the top spot in Test ranking as well as their Asian title, when they failed to defend the Asia Cup 2012, held
in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 earlier this year.
Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 however, possesses a number of extra-ordinary players, having the ability to change the course of a game singlehandedly, expecting to bounce back and have a good year ahead, especially because they have to play most of
their games in Asian conditions.
On his arrival in the Island, the wicketkeeper/batsman expressed that the boys have taken part in the team meetings and have shown eagerness to do well in the coming months, which involves some very important encounters, including
the ICC World T20 2012.
Dhoni wants his side to utilize the tour of Sri Lanka to prepare for the challenging battles that await them.
"It's the start of the season for us. There are certain areas where we've wanted to improve, where we've had a discussion saying these are the areas where we need to improve upon to consistently do well,” the Indian captain said.
“This is a nice occasion to test how much we have improved and how much further we can actually improve on the field."
The 31-year-old cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jharkhand-c800 is satisfied with the intensity his team has shown in the training camp, organized before the Sri Lankan tour. However, the hard-hitting batsman wants his men to keep working hard on their
fitness, which is vital at the ultimate level of the game.
He added, "The good thing is the energy level is up, which means we can put in a bit more effort in the physical department and do a bit more active sports work."
