Ranchi: After curtains were drawn on the India-Australia series, which came into the limelight as much for the on and off the field verbal duals between the two sides as the cricket played, captain MS Dhoni said his team would continue to play aggressive cricket. "Every one knows about his role and responsibility. And if we can play aggressive cricket, we should play that way," the Ranchi player said in a press conference at his hometown. When asked about S Sreesanth’s aggressive behaviour, which has been put under the scanner by several sections of the cricketing community, Dhoni said if the aggression is abiding by the code of conduct, there is nothing wrong in it. "In cricket we have guidelines and so long one plays within the frame work, it is okay," he said.
On the upcoming series against Pakistan amidst a hectic cricket schedule, the Indian captain said the break before the series was a welcome relief. "We have enough time before the tough series against Pakistan. We have played cricket for over five months, perhaps the busiest cricketing schedule in Indian cricket. It is important to relax, regenerate energy and charge our batteries before the important series ahead," he said.
Dhoni also said the ongoing Challenger Trophy is a great opportunity for youngsters to give eye catching performances and pave their way in the national side. "It is a great platform for all those players who want to get a chance," Dhoni said. Dhoni was also quick to defend the decision of the senior members of the team not to participate in the Challenger Trophy. "Players with 15 years of experience don’t need to prove themselves," he said.
