Srinath will not bowl in one-dayers anymore, says Kapil

He said the 30-year-old was too valuable and he will be used only in Tests to ensure his longevity in the game.

“The indication given by the player was he was not too keen to play one-day cricket. I don’t think he will play one-dayers in future. He is too important a player. In future he should be used only to play in Tests,” he said.

Srinath has been rested from duty in one-dayers in the past also, but now could join the ranks of South African speedster Alan Donald as a purely Test bowler.
