Some Seniors Likely To Be Rested For ODIs Against Windies

Mumbai, Nov 24: A few senior players could be rested when the national selectors meet here tomorrow to pick the Indian squad for the first two cricket one-dayers against West Indies.

According to BCCI sources, the selection committee headed by Krishnamachari Srikkanth is mulling on giving a much needed rest to skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni keeping in mind the gruelling Australia series starting next month.

It has been learnt that the selectors will obviously seek Dhoni’s opinion in this regard. In case Dhoni is rested, Virender Sehwag or Gautam Gambhir could lead the side and Parthiv Patel will don the big gloves for the first two games in Cuttack (Nov 29) and Visakhapatnam (Dec 2).

It will be interesting to see whether Sachin Tendulkar who hasn’t played in ODIs since the World Cup final will be named in the squad or be given rest ahead of the tour of Australia.
