Sydney - Facing severe criticism for his unimpressive
captaincy and performances in Test cricket, under-fire Mahendra Singh
Dhoni has offered to quit the leadership role in the longer format of
the game if the BCCI feels there is a better replacement waiting in the
wings.
Dhoni said if somebody could do a better job than him in Tests, then he will be more than happy to step down as captain for the sake of the team.
“It (captaincy) doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s a position I hold, and it’s an added responsibility. I always like to do well till I am in job but it’s not something I want to stick to. If there is a better replacement, he can come in,” Dhoni said today ahead of tomorrow’s first Twenty20 game Australia.
“At the end of the day, you want India to perform. If there is someone who can do a better job, captaincy should be given to him. It’s not something you have to cling on to,” said Dhoni as speculation grew over his Test future both as a batsman and captain.
