Playing more test matches is the key to protect the tag of being number 1. A last minute effort was made to convince South Africa to two one dayers and play a couple of Tests when they tour India in February-March.
The South Africa-India series was to be held in February and March next year. However, after Sunday's debacle, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said that it has been decided that the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) will not get to host this match. Though the list of venues has not been confirmed, the tainted Kotla might have hosted one of the two Test matches to be played during the series.
