Need to maintain consistency, says Sehwag



Dhaka, Jan 2 (PTI) Ahead of India's first assignment this
year, vice-captain Virender Sehwag on Saturday told his
teammates to maintain the kind of consistency that has made
them the number one Test team in the world.

Sehwag, who arrived here on Saturday along with his
teammates for an ODI tri-series to be followed by a two-match
Test series against hosts Bangladesh, said the team would try
its best to maintain the high standard that has become the
hallmark of the side.
"Our target is to play good cricket. Last two years, we
have played very tough and good cricket and hopefully we will
do it in 2010 also," Sehwag said after the team's arrival.
"It's important for the team to play well consistently.
If you do that you will stay there in number one or number two
positions," he said.
Even though India comprehensibly beat Sri Lanka at home
and the islanders would be without key players like Sanath
Jayasuriya, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis and Mahela
Jayawardene, Sehwag refused to underestimate them.
"When new players break into the side, nobody really
knows what he will do or what his strength is. It's difficult
for the teams to bowl or bat against them.
"I think Sri Lanka still are a good side. It will be a
tough task for us," a cautious Sehwag said. MORE PTI AY
