Delhi opener Gautam Gambhir will lead India in the one-day series against New Zealand after regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his deputy Virender Sehwag were both given a break.
Dhoni had on Friday stressed the need for time away from the game to ‘switch on and switch off’ as well as shake off niggles, and the selectors, who met here on Saturday night, acceded to the Jharkhandi’s request as they picked a 14-man squad for the first two matches.
It’s the first time since June, when India travelled to Zimbabwe for a tri-series with a less-than-full strength squad skippered by Suresh Raina, that Dhoni has got time off from competitive cricket.
