Dhoni steps down as ODI, T20 captain

In a  surprising move, MS Dhoni on Wednesday stepped down as India’s limited overs captain, just days before the announcement of team for ODI and T20 series against England.

 

The BCCI put out a tweet stating the same. The board said that Dhoni will be available for selection for England series.

 

Commenting on Dhoni’s sudden announcement, Rahul Johri, Chief Executive Officer of the BCCI said, “On the behalf of every Indian cricket fan and the BCCI, I would like to thank MS Dhoni for his outstanding contribution as the captain of the Indian team across all formats.

 

“Under his leadership, the Indian team has touched new heights and his achievements will remain etched forever in the annals of Indian cricket.”
