is there an updated schedule somewhere for where India is playing the upcoming year... the only confirmed test series seems to be vs SA at home?

thanks mate ... that is nicely organized and whoah. I reckon we are going to play the highest number of tests ever in calendar year.

It is 21 tests for India in 2008??? Wonder how our players will keep fit for all those encounters!! But I just can't find the reason to have so many tests put in this 12 months. Has any team EVER played 21 tests in 12 months?? How can the players be managed during this period? I suppose the test players should say absolute no to ODIs this year and all the bowlers of the A team should be given chance in the ODIs to get exposure while test bowlers should be rested completely from these JAMODIs. Even then we would need more players. This is the period where we can give exposure to our second string of batters too. This period has to be meticulously planned which I'm sure BCCI will goof up big time. It might end the career of few players too.
