Dhoni banned for 2 ODIs, Sehwag named Captain

19-Dec-2009 / ( Cricket - | | )

Captain of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been suspended for two one-day internationals (ODIs) over tha slow over-rate during the second ODI on Friday at Nagpur in the match that it lost against Sri Lanka.

Also, the entire Indian side will be fined 40% of their match fees for the same offence.

The action was taken in accordance to the Article 2.5.2 of the new ICC Code of Conduct which provides for 2 suspension points for the captain. The same article provides for a fine of 10% match fees for each of the first two overs short and 20% for the every additional short over.

In the new code of conduct 2 suspension points mean a ban in one test match or two ODIs which ever is first.

Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the ban after Dhoni's side was ruled to be three overs short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.

Dhoni will not be a part of the team for the ODIs scheduled for 21 and 24 December at Cuttack and Kolkata respectively.

Meanwhile the Indian Cricket body, BCCI, has said that it will not be contesting the ruling and has named Virendra Sehwag as the skipper of the Indian teams for these two matches.
