The selectors are meeting on January 06 to pick the squad for both ODI and T20I series against England which starts on January 15. Virat Kohli, who leads the Test side, will captain the limited over format game.
“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,” BCCI chief executive Rahul Johri said. “Under his leadership, Indian team has touched new heights and his achievements will remain etched forever in the annals of Indian cricket.”
