While it was expected that the Indian team management would rest M S Dhoni for the forthcoming ODI series in Zimbabwe, the BCCI in its press release did not even find it worth mentioning that their World Cup-winning skipper has been rested.
The Board’s media release did have a mention of “Ishant Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav” being rested, but there was no reference to Dhoni.
