Back injury rules out MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni has been ruled out of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong because of a back strain. Virender Sehwag, his deputy, will lead India in the match scheduled to start on Sunday, and Dinesh Karthik will replace him as the keeper, the Indian team manager Arshad Ayub confirmed.
Dhoni suffered a back spasm during morning practice, retired to the dressing room and sent Virender Sehwag for the traditional captain's pre-match conference. However Sehwag, in his inimitable style, just offered: "He is fine, just taking a break and he is enjoying in the dressing room."
"The spasm continued and refused to go away," Ayub told Cricinfo. "Dhoni didn't want to take any chances and decided at the team-meeting in the evening that he wouldn't play the Test. Karthik will replace him." Karthik played two games as an opener in the recently concluded tri-series.
Dhoni had earlier suffered a back spasm during India's tour of New Zealand early last year and, as a result, had to sit out of the second Test in Napier, which ended in a draw. Sehwag led India in Napier in Dhoni's absence and will be captaining his country in a Test for the third time when he steps out tomorrow.

What is this strange habit of tamilising national and international personalities(Anja singam Dhoni, Thanmaanachingam Tiger Woods, etc)? :shock:
we have grown in a culture where tamil names are internationalised - then indhiya spielberg, ulaganayagan etc so we are just doing the reverse :lol: ......after all its vasudeva kutumbakam as said by thalaivar :lol2:Quote:

Ofcourse, he has inside information like this. That bit about him bowling to Karthik shows his supreme self-confidence. Respect!
