Selectors wanted to make Sehwag skipper replacing Dhoni, reveals Amarnath

Mumbai, Dec 12: Team India selectors, after the 0-4 whitewash in Australia, wanted to appoint Virendra Sehwag as captain in place of skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni early this year, reveals former selector Mohinder Amarnath in


It it not a coincidence that Dhoni captains Srinivasan's IPL team Chennai Super Kings.

Saying he has nothing personal against Dhoni, Mohinder Amarnath said; "I believe Dhoni should be removed as captain of the Test side. He hasn't set the Test stage on fire. A captain's place in the team should be secure and I don't see his place secure in the side.

"He (Dhoni)  doesn't have the technique for Test cricket", said Amarnath.

The former selector however praised Dhoni's ODI performance and referred to him as a match-winner in ODI and Twenty20.
