Over the past several years, we have seen a test match captain handing over reign during ODIs.It started with Taylor and Waugh,continued with Waugh and Ponting and has almost been institutionalised in Australia.Several other teams have followed it even when the ODI captain remains in the Test side.However from Jason Holder to AB Devilliers,their aim remains to become even greater Test performers and in Holder's case lead the Test side.The entire mindset seems that you graduate to Tests and settle down there.Except in India.While even the West Indies have a plan for Tests, the BCCI has no concern that their team,often ours as well, do not figure in Test cricket's elite.Even home performances against top teams need to show consistency.Under such circumstances,we have a Test in Bangladesh in what is definitely not cricket weather.It would have done us good to organise a Test with Bangladesh in Dharmashala and play a five ODI series in Fatullah and Mirpur.
