CricketSachin Tendulkar has said he does not want to take on the job of India's test captain again at present.

"Tendulkar has conveyed to Sharad Pawar (board president) that he was not in a position to accept the captaincy of the Indian team for the tests," the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) secretary Niranjan Shah said in a statement yesterday.

Indian selectors are due to name Rahul Dravid's successor as test captain tomorrow.

Batting great Tendulkar, (34), and one-day captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni were in the frame for the job after Dravid relinquished the post two months ago, saying he wanted to focus on his batting.
