Mumbai, Sep 18: Wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is currently leading the Indian side at the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa, has been named captain of Team India for the seven-match one-day international series against Australia starting September 29.

The Indian cricket team's manager, Sunil Dev, informed the Indian team in South Africa about the decision.

The selectors are meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday September 18 and will name the new captain at a press conference later in the day. The decision is being taken following Rahul Dravid's surprise resignation on Friday.

Dravid said he wasn't enjoying the job after two years at the helm.

    Dravid resigned as India captain and Tendulkar refused. Saurav Ganguli said if he is given a free hand he will accept the captaincy. Is there something wrong between the players & the BCCI management. Why, the senior players do not want to take the ODI captaincy? It means there is something wrong.

    Are the players forced to play the game as instructed by the BCCI think tank. Perhaps yes. And this puts ones mind the reason why India lost the final ODI to England, after winning 5th & 6th ODI's convincingly. Is BCCI instructing players when to win and when to lose the match? Are the matches played as per the back door stakes? Perhaps yes. And when players did not bug, they must have caught hold of the umpire, Aleem Dar.

    This perhaps made Dravid to quit the post. Also the refusal from Tendulkar and the statement of Ganguli backs it.
