India vs England November 9, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass But the Nottinghamshire paceman, who made his Test debut in 2007, insists he is focused on righting the wrongs of the Test defeat to Bangladesh in Dhaka eight days ago. Obviously Im aware how special an achievement it is because of the players that have come before me - the amount theyve given to English cricket, said the 30-year-old. Broads pace partner James Anderson (left) is already a member of the 100 club So it will be a special cap to receive. But actually, I think what excites me more is we hope this game will be the start of a huge series for us as well.Theres no bigger occasion than the start of a series in India against the world No 1 team.I try not to think about end of careers, because I think that makes you slow down as a player. I think as soon as you set those targets, you stop chasing to improve, you stop training very hard.I certainly want to play in big series, and that counts at least two more Ashes series in my view. England captain Alastair Cook hopes Anderson will be fit for the Second Test in India after joining the tour Of Broads 99 Test appearances to date, only three have come in India and he has had precious little success in the country, taking just two wickets at the cost of 290 runs.He was a frustrated and peripheral figure on his last trip when injury curtailed his involvement in Englands memorable 2-1 series triumph.It is very much a chance to show what I can do [in India], he said. I probably shouldnt have played that series - I wasnt fit. I think I only bowled 25 overs in the series.I lacerated the fat pad in my left heel before the first Test match in the warm-up game, and the scans just didnt show it.It was a frustrating period for me, but I feel in a pretty good place at the moment... and Im excited to get going.

Thakur also took exception to Manohars remarks that his priorities lay with the ICC and not the BCCI. Manohar had suggested that it wasnt his responsibility but that of the BCCI representative to look after the boards interest at the ICC table.I think these [Lodha] recommendations and [the] change in ICC [regime] are arm-twisting BCCI both at home and at the ICC which is not good for Indian cricket, Thakur said. The situation of BCCI - a global leader till the recommendation of the Lodha committee... now with the new ICC regime they are trying to sideline the BCCI, one of the most important stakeholders in global cricket today. Just [because of] one recommendation, we are not taken seriously.Thakur, who is in Greater Noida to watch the final of the Duleep Trophy, told reporters that the BCCI, by virtue of being a global leader, had an obligation to look after the interest of smaller boards. He reiterated the BCCIs concerns over the budget for next years Champions Trophy in England, which the Indian board felt was three times as much as what was allotted to India for the World T20 earlier this year.Yes, BCCI should look after its interests, but BCCI does not only limit itself to look after BCCIs interests, Thakur said. If he [Manohar] is saying that he has got nothing to do with the BCCI, BCCI is one of the 105 members and one of the most important stakeholders of the ICC today.dddddddddddd And, that is why we have raised the issue - when the others kept mum - that we want to go through the Champions Trophy budget.Compare the World [T20] Cup with the Champions Trophy - we had 56 matches, Champions Trophy has close to 15 matches; we had eight venues, they had only three venues; it was a 49-day event and the Champions Trophy is only a 20-day event. So the per-match cost is three times higher. Every single penny saved is every single penny earned, not only for BCCI but for 105 countries.When you talk about the two-tier Test system, BCCI could have got benefits by joining hands with those associations like Australia and England, but we stood by countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and to an extent like West Indies.Thakur questioned Manohars motives for amending the ICC constitution, which played a part in his being elected unopposed as the first independent chairman of the world body. He contended that Manohar hadnt taken all members into confidence before the amendments were made.Mr Shashank Manohar was on the board to make certain changes, amendments. As the president of the board he should have taken into confidence all the BCCI members which he did not, he said. The amendments were made and he became the independent chairman. Once he has become the independent chairman, he left the BCCI when BCCI needed him the most. ' ' '
