India captain MS Dhoni: 'We won't play more games against associate nations'

MS Dhoni says that India won't play more games against associate nations outside of the Cricket World Cup after they crushed UAE by nine wickets.

MS Dhoni has said that India won't play more games against associate nations outside of the Cricket World Cup after they crushed UAE.

Dhoni was asked whether the associates would be helped by playing more games against Test nations after India beat the UAE by nine wickets having bowled them out for 102.

"Not against India," said Dhoni, according to The Guardian. "I don't see even a few days off to play any more cricket than what we play. If you see the cricket fraternity, the nations, they have a calendar of 12 months in which they play a lot of Test matches and ODIs. I don't know what's the number.

"Our calendar is nine-and-a-half months because in the other two and a half months, we play the IPL and the Champions League. And yet, we match every other Test-playing nation when it comes to the number of Test matches and ODI cricket. I don't see India playing any more games."

India have a 100% record at the 2015 Cricket World Cup, winning all three of their games.
