Dhoni will not be playing the Sri Lanka series - too much cricket, too tired etc. were his reasons.
My opinion - his real reason is that he's miffed because he wasn't made the captain of the test team. After all, there are no seniors (except Sachin Tendulkar) in his one day team. And who did Anil Kumble lobby to be picked - Rahul Dravid - as a 'second' wicketkeeper. Who else is included - V.V.S.Laxman. I am almost certain that Dhoni didn't want to play in a team with too many seniors and whose stewardship was not his.
We are seeing the final days of Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar, Laxman, Ganguly and Dravid - and BCCI agrees - after all, they let Dhoni take "as much time of as he wants". I am betting that by the end of this year, Dhoni will assume the mantle of the test team captain.
