M.S.Dhoni has opted out of the test series against SriLanka saying he was fatigued. And it looks like Dinesh Karthik might replace him. So do you agree with Dhoni's desicion to skip the test series? He had been saying that he was tired due to the excess cricket that they play? Your views?????

As cricket is getting more popular especially after IPL, there are surely be tough schedules for the Indian Cricket. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's decision for opting out of the Lanka series was immature act. He should consider opting out for tests but not for ODI's as he is the captain of the team. Sure he is feeling fatigued but he kew in advance that he is having that much tight schedule.

i think it is a very bad decision of him to show that he is not doing well. he failed two times in the finals and that also when he should have done well with the side he choose. and then he failed. i think he should understand that normal matches can be won by young talents but when it is the games of nerves then you need exp of greats like sachin and saurav. you cannot just drop them out. and then also in such matches inclusion of dravid also would have been a tremendous thing. if none of the players were able to pick the spinner then dravid would have been handy there. he know how to play the best of defensive games and not only could he have stopped the wickets from falling but also would have share his views to the young players on the field as in how to handle the situations.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been opted out of the Srilankan tour beause of tired cricket schedule. Well, thats Dhoni's personal decision. No wonder, he has played alot of cricket this year, tough cricket. And it inlcudes IPL. Dhoni being the captain of Cheenai Superstars had to play all the matches of IPL till the fnal and has to do three jobs simultaneously, wicket keeping, battign and captaincy. its really tiresome.
If Dhoni himself feels he is tired and not fit to play then thats a very honest and right decision. take the rest abd come back with a BANG. Every player should do like this.
