India [ Images ] skipper Rahul Dravid [ Images ] said that the players are eagerly looking forward to the September 12-24 triangular series in Malaysia after the rain-ruined sojourn to Sri Lanka [ Images ] that was finally abandoned.

"It's going to be an exciting series with three very good teams in the fray (Australia [ Images ], the West Indies [ Images ] and India). We are all looking forward to play some cricket after the [weather enforced] break in Sri Lanka," Dravid said after unveiling the DLF Cup, the symbol of supremacy, in the tri-nation event in Kuala Lumpur.

The Bangalore stalwart, appearing with the official Board of Control for Cricket in India sponsors' logos on his shirt, said sponsorship is a very important aspect of the game.

"Sponsorship is a very important part of the game -- at the international, domestic and junior levels," he said.
