Dravid keen to stay with Scotland next season

Rahul Dravid has said that he wants to play another season for Scotland in the National League, providing he can fit it into his international schedule.

Dravid has scored three centuries and two fifties in his nine games so far in Scotland's inaugural season - they are ninth in division two after four wins in 14 games. Speaking to the BBC's Asian Network, he said: "Everyone has been very friendly and made me feel very welcome, but obviously a lot of things depend on the international season next year."

He continued: "I have to get permission from the Board of Control for Cricket in India who I am contracted to. All things considered, if it's possible I would definitely like to come back next year."

Dravid added: "In spite of the hurdles that they face the Saltires have shown they can compete with the professional teams. If they want to play in the World Cup this is good experience for them."
