Dhoni to miss Champions League finals

This announcement should assuage those who worried about IPL's insensitivity to other formats of cricket.

 

The Champions League, jointly organised by the BCCI, Cricket Australia (CA) and Cricket South Africa (CSA), will be held from December 3-11, and will be sandwiched between the India-England ODI and Test series.

 

The first Test begins on December 11 and VB Chandrasekar, director of cricket operations for Super Kings, suggested Dhoni might make himself unavailable for the final to turn out for India. "More weightage should be given to Indian team,"

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Now will they make Raina, Parthiv and Badri available as well? I hope they all get selected to the test team just to see what happens :)

Make Fleming the Captain. Dhoni is an outlier when it comes to the teams success anyhow.
