Dhoni to miss Tests in Sri Lanka
Wicketkeeper Mahendra Dhoni has opted out of India's three-Test series in Sri Lanka because of fatigue. The one-day captain said he needed a break as he had been playing non-stop since leading the Chennai Super Kings to the Indian Premier League final. But he is expected to play in the five one-day matches that follow the Tests. Batsman Sachin Tendulkar returns after a groin injury and spinner Harbhajan Singh comes back in after serving a ban for slapping his team-mate Sree Santh. Santh,however, was overlooked because of a side strain but experienced left-arm paceman Zaheer Khan, who has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury during the first Test in Australia last December, is named in a 16-man squad.
