DHONI new CAPTAIN - Dravid resigns

[anoops]

Rahul Dravid has resigned as India captain with immediate effect. In a letter written to the Indian board, he has asked to be relieved of the captaincy before Australia's forthcoming tour of India, beginning later this month.

A statement from Niranjan Shah, secretary of the Indian board, said Dravid met Sharad Pawar, the board president, in New Delhi yesterday. He "expressed his desire to step down as captain of the Indian team and requested that he should not be considered for the job from the ensuing Australia series."

The statement said Dravid wanted to concentrate on his game.

Dravid, 33, has captained India in 25 Tests and 79 ODIs. He took over the captaincy from Sourav Ganguly two years ago, following India's tour of Zimbabwe.

Under his captaincy India won eight Tests, including series wins in Pakistan, West Indies, Bangladesh and England.

we never know they are announcing on the 18th - cud even be sachin PLSS NOOO

I would love to see Dada back at the helm with Yuvi or Dhoni deputing him - or atleast a brave decision to put in a young captain. Good decision ATLAST by Dravid - but its ironical to be announced on the day of an important match of 20-20
