Focus on ODIs Has Created Inbalance - Sachin

Mumbai: The focus on Twenty20 and One-Day Internationals at the expense of Test cricket has created an inbalance in the cricketing calendar, according to Sachin Tendulkar who feels that the longest version of the game should not be neglected.

Sachin Tendulkar said the advent of Twenty20 match has made it necessary for cricket administrators to balance the schedule properly.

"I think to a certain extent the focus is certainly more on T20 and ODI games. 20-20 cricket being played are not that many in number but One-dayer are quite frequent. We sometimes play almost 45-50 One-day matches in a year, while Test matches are fewer, so there I do feel is an imbalance," he said.

The batting maestro said that he was enjoying his cricket and was not contemplating retirement at the moment.

Asked to comment on Dhoni's statement that he wants him to play till 2015, Tendulkar said " 2015 seems a little far off. I have said earlier too that I do not know when I will stop. I will play till I enjoy myself."

"I will think about it when the time comes. I don't think that time has come yet." Tendulkar said.
