Dhoni rested for West Indies ODIs; Sehwag to lead
Virender Sehwag is set to lead India in an ODI for the first time since December 2009, after the selectors decided to give MS Dhoni a break for the ODI series against West Indies. Yuvraj Singh was also left out, which means he hasn't played an ODI for India since his Player of the the Tournament performance in the World Cup. Since taking over as full-time India captain, Dhoni has been reluctant to miss one-day games despite his exceptional workload as full-time wicketkeeper and captain of India and his IPL franchise, the Chennai Super Kings. In recent times, he sat out of two bilateral one-day series against New Zealand and West Indies, on either side of the World Cup. Gautam Gambhir stood in as captain against New Zealand, while Suresh Raina led an inexperienced side in the West Indies, in the absence of Sehwag, Gambhir and Yuvraj.
