As before, in our time we have played good first class tournaments in the West Indies and some longer versions of cricket in India like Moin-ud-Dawlah, Buchi Babu Trophy etc. Also the tournaments held in South India. We are working to involve in any Test playing country's domestic level game,” said Durjoy.
