Dhoni dropped from T20 squad
Former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been dropped from India's Twenty20 squad for their matches against West Indies and Australia, raising serious doubts about the long-serving wicketkeeper's future in the shortest format of the game.
India's chief selector MSK Prasad, however, said the 37-year-old has been rested and his T20 career was not over.
"He's not going to play in the six T20s here and in Australia because we are looking at a second wicketkeeper," Prasad told reporters.
"That will be between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik, so they will be getting a chance to keep and bat."
Dhoni announced his sudden retirement from test cricket midway through an Australia series in 2014, with the Boxing Day match in Melbourne being the last of his 90 appearances in the longer format.
