Dhoni to lead Jharkhand against Bengal
Jamshedpur: India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was on Thursday named captain of the 16-member Jharkhand team for the limited-over Vijay Hazare Trophy commencing at Kolkata from February 15.
"This will be the first time when Dhoni would lead the state team in the domestic cricket tournament," Rajesh Verma Bobby, Secretary of Jharkhand State Cricket Association, said here on Thursday.
However, the chance of Dhoni playing the entire tournament would depend on his availability in view of the Indian team's schedule.
"We are expecting him to play the opener against Bengal at Eden Gardens on February 15," Verma said, adding that Dhoni's deputy Shiv Shankar Rao will lead the team in his absence.
