Captain's crown for Dhoni, Pathan and Harbhajan return to Team India

It's official now. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been appointed as the captain of the ODI team for the upcoming series against Australia and Pakistan. Yuvraj Singh will be the Vice-Captain of the team. The BCCI had little options left after the refusal of Sachin Tendulkar to lead the one-day squad. Dhoni is currently leading the side at the ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa.

The Selectors have announced the team for the one-day series against Australia. While Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh made a comeback to team, Virender Sehwag failed to impress the selectors. Ajit Agarkar and Munaf Patel have been dropped from the ODI squad.

The Team: MS Dhoni (Captain), Yuvraj Singh (Vice-Captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguly, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik, Gautam Gambhir, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Romesh Powar, Harbhajan Singh, S Sreesanth and Piyush Chawla.
