Tendulkar eyes 15000 Test runs, World Cup

New Delhi: It's been nearly four months since Sachin Tendulkar has taken the field. But his ambitions have not diminished.

In an interview with Wisden Tendulkar has said that he has set his sight on amassing 15,000 runs in Test cricket.

Tendulkar has also spoken about his dream of India winning the 2011 World Cup. India is one of the host nations from the sub-continent.In the interview Tendulkar also talks about John Buchanan's comments on some Indian players in his new book including himself.

"It is only his opinion; John Buchanan doesn't have to be right all the time. If I couldn't handle short deliveries, then I wouldn't still be scoring runs," he said.

"Maybe he needs to change his opinion. There must be something very wrong with all the bowlers around the world that they have allowed me to score so many runs."

And he has again put to rest any questions on retiring from the game.

"I am not pleased yet with what I have done," he said. "Sunil Gavaskar has told me that I have to get to 15,000 runs. He said he would be angry with me and would come and catch me if I didn't. I admire him so much and to score that many would be a terrific achievement, but that is not the only aim."

India has to be WADA-compliant: ICC

Chennai: The International Cricket Council (ICC) is confident India's cricket authorities will eventually comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency's "whereabouts" rule, its chief executive Haroon Lorgat has said.

The cash-rich Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejected the controversial "whereabouts" rule, backing its players' refusal to sign the directive.

"It is a difficult situation to be in no doubt but we are confident of convincing the Indian players and the BCCI," Lorgat told DNA newspaper.

The ICC became a signatory to WADA in 2006 and its board last year unanimously approved out-of-competition tests on cricketers in accordance with amendments made by WADA to the code.

"Every board has signed the code and we're sure the Indian players and the BCCI president, Shashank Manohar, will understand this," Lorgat said.

"Even if they don't agree they need to abide by the universal code in the larger interest of the game.

"We cannot reject the code. We have to implement it. All we need to do now is to properly explain to the BCCI the need to be WADA-compliant."
