Online Cricket :Sachin Tendulkar’s refusal to captain India leaves Mahendra Singh Dhoni a probable candidate
admin November 6th, 2007
Sachin Tendulkar has declined the Indian Test captaincy, citing personal reasons, two days before the national selectors are scheduled to decide on the position. “I don’t feel right about it at the moment,” Tendulkar told in an interview, an Indian news channel.
Tendulkar, 34, was widely tipped to be named as India’s Test captain – he was vice-captain during the Test series in Bangladesh and England – after Rahul Dravid resigned in September. However, it is believed he has met the board of selectors and stated his reluctance.
The selectors are due to meet at Mohali on November 8 to announce the team for subsequent one-day internationals in the current series against Pakistan, and pick a Test captain.
