FATULLAH
Uncertain for Wednesday's Asia Cup opener against Bangladesh, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Tuesday skipped the entire training session of the Indian cricket team here even though he accompanied the side to the ground.
Nursing back spasms, Dhoni's availability for the match at Mirpur on Wednesday is not clear with his vice-captain Virat Kohli also refraining from giving a clear response. While a lot of players don't train on pre-match days, Dhoni normally plays football and does batting practice in the nets. Although, he never does any keeping drills during training sessions, he does gather a few before taking the field on match days.
In a nutshell, Dhoni can't be ruled out till the playing XI is announced before toss on Wednesday.
Dhoni has been suffering from back spasms which resulted in Parthiv Patel being flown in on SOS basis as cover for the Indian captain. While he did not take part in the training session, Dhoni keenly watched his teammates go through the paces at the Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium, here on Tuesday.
