Thread: MS Dhoni gives up ODI, T20 Captaincy

Thank you MSD for the WC 2011, WT20 2008 and the Champions Trophy 2013...along with many other memorable series victories...

Wt20 2007 aanu..

On January 2, the Supreme Court sacked Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke -- the top two functionaries of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) -- based on recommendations by a panel headed by former chief justice of India R M Lodha.

Two days later, Dhoni said he would step down as captain of the cricket team.

The move has helped India's most successful captain duck a potential bouncer, which came his way two days later.

Explaining the term commercial conflict, the Lodha panel report made an interesting illustration, 'D is a team captain. He is also co-owner of a sports management agency which is contracted to manage other team members. D is hit by conflict of interest.'

It had also talked about intractable conflicts that cannot be resolved through recusal or disclosure, as against tractable conflicts.

'Several cricketers of impeccable repute were surprised when queried about what were obviously potential conflict situations, needing to be convinced that no wrongdoing was necessary for a conflict to exist.'

'The committee had to point out to them that the very holding of a position which could be abused to undermine the integrity of the game renders the occupant vulnerable to such a charge.'

Had he not resigned, Dhoni might have fit the panel description as he was to sit on a selection committee to pick the teams for the one-day international (ODI) series and the T20 series.
