Ratnakar Shetty, BCCI's chief administrative officer said Dhoni had personally conveyed the message. "Yes, he (Dhoni) has told the board that he would like to rest for the Test series against Sri Lanka", Shetty said.Till late on Monday night there was a question mark over Dhoni's participation in the tour after his own public statements did not clear the air. Midway through the recent Asia Cup in Pakistan recently, Dhoni spoke about fatigue as a result of back-to-back-matches. On Monday, he welcomed the BCCI's policy for allowing players the choice to sit out if they wanted some rest. "The board has done a good thing by saying that if someone needs rest, he can opt out", Dhoni said.</blockquote>
