No question of removing Dhoni as captain: BCCI
Mumbai, Aug 19 (IBNS): The Indian cricket board has ruled out removing MS Dhoni as the captain of the Indian team after the team's poor performance in the England series and the poor overseas records, said reports on Tuesday.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which has appointed Ravi Shastri as the director of the team in the ODI against England, has ruled out removing Dhoni as captain.
MS Dhoni on Sunday asked all to "wait and watch" when asked if he would give up captaincy after the drubbing in the England series.
"You will have to wait and watch to find out whether I am strong enough to cope with this loss or not," he told journalists when asked if he would step down as captain.
Dhoni said the performance of the lower-order 'blurred' the performance of the top order in the first two Tests of the series against England.
England defeated India by an innings and 244 runs int he fifth and final match to clinch the series 3-1.
"Right from the start, our batsmen never really performed, the lower order helped out and that blurred the performance of the top order," Dhoni said.
He said the Indian batsmen lost confidence as the series progressed.
