VIRENDER Sehwag will step in to captain India in two one-day internationals against Sri Lanka after Mahendra Singh Dhoni was hit with a two-match ban.
The International Cricket Council handed down an immediate suspension on the regular skipper for his team's slow over-rate in Friday's second one-dayer, the Indian cricket board said yesterday. The Indian players have been penalized 40 percent of their match fees, the BCCI statement added. The hearing was conduced late on Friday after Sri Lanka won the match in Nagpur by three wickets with five deliveries to spare, levelling the five-match series at 1-1. The match ended 45 minutes after the scheduled time due to frequent discussions between the Indian players. Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has taken Dhoni's place in the team.
