MS Dhoni fends off CSA, BCCI spat with 'just here to play cricket' argument

Captain MS Dhoni has said that the Indian cricket team has distanced itself from the administrative issues between Cricket SA (CSA) and the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India.

According to Sport24, CSA and the BCCI clashed on the scheduling of the tour, which was reduced to three One Day Internationals and two Test matches with the traditional new year's Test in Cape Town scrapped altogether.

Dhoni said jokingly that a match could be arranged for the administrators so that they can go at each other, adding that they are busy playing cricket and had nothing to do with it.

Whether the Indian team was disappointed about playing a shortened series in South Africa, Dhoni did not say, the report said.
