  Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni made a surprise revelation that he may retire from Test cricket if he is to play in the 2015 cricket World Cup. "If I have to see through the 2015 (World Cup), I would have to retire from one of the formats," Dhoni said in Perth on Thursday. Dhoni, who has played in 66 Tests so far and won 17 of the 36 matches in which he has skippered, almost casually mentioned it which took everyone by surprise at the press conference. The 30-year-old Dhoni is being acknowledged more and more as a really good captain in One-Day cricket and a very effective batsman in the limited-overs format. In the Tests, on the other hand, his team seems to have lost the knack of winning abroad in testing conditions and his batting, against lifting and seaming deliveries, looks completely out of sorts.
