The BCCI has sought a postponement of the first Test (Ahmedabad Test between India and England) by a day to December 12 to enable Dhoni to play for Chennai SuperKings in case they made it to Twenty20 Champions League finals.
The request to postpone a Test match by a day in order to accommodate the Twenty20 Champions League had rightly set off a huge furor among Test enthusiasts.
Thankfully, better sense has prevailed. Late yesterday, Lalit Modi confirmed that Dhoni would definitely play in the first Test, starting as scheduled on 11 December.
This means that Dhoni will to play for India even if Chennai SuperKings qualify for the finals.

So is Badri also free to play the test match or does
it seal the fate for Badrinath or Raina to be selected in the test squad? Does Badri get dropped from the test squad without playing a match in the last tournament?
oh...they have avoided match fixing ;-)
Wunna Chennai Soopah Kings dun gun n won dat game set and toornament?
Gwan, wunna does counting fowl fo tomorrow! :)
RS,
It seals Badrinath's fate. Suresh Raina's fate that is also up in the air.
Pan,
Damn shame! :)
Hey Ottayan, that was Bajan, just in case. I'm learning Jam'can Patois and Barbadian Bajan.
It means have the CSK already won the tournament? You guys are counting chickens before they hatch.
This is in regard to Dhoni having to stay up late. I hope he does, but you do recall I'm a 3D and DC man? Couldn't help
Looks like the rigging didn't fall through :)
Soulberry,
Ahem! I actually thought you had one too many when you wrote that.:)
BTW, who do you think is the favorite.
Scorpi,
I sacred them off.:)
Ok so the final is in Chennai on the 10th and the test in Ahmedabad on 11th... How long does it take to get from Chennai to Ahmedabad?
Surely some private jet can come in handy... if it could for Bravo then why not Dhoni...
In our lingo we would say - bhayee Bravo ke liye kiya to phir yeh to Dhoni hai Dhoni!!
Q,
The problem is the finals is a day-nighter. So Dhoni will just have time to freshen up before the Test.
