Dhoni to head straight into ODIs

India's limited-overs captain MS Dhoni looks set to head straight back into the side for the ODI series with England. The veteran, who retired from Test cricket at the end of 2014, last featured competitively against New Zealand at Visakhapatnam on October 29. Dhoni has not featured in the Ranji Trophy in recent weeks, with Ishan Kishan instead keeping wicket. With the BCCI banning players from playing in other private leagues such as the BPL, there is a chance he could suffer from a lack of match sharpness when the ODI series with England starts in Pune on January 15. Chairman of selectors MSK Prasad says the board do not know if he will feature domestically before the first of the three one-dayers but insists they are not concerned with his lack of action. Prasad said: "We have no information as to whether Dhoni will be playing any Ranji Trophy game or not. In any case he has already retired from the longer format. The information we have is that he is doing his regular training with the Jharkhand team."
