M S Dhoni and Virat Kohli want to skip Bangladesh tour

#IPL8 #bangladeshtour #ViratKohli #mirpur It is reported that both M S Dhoni and Virat Kohli have requested BCCI to be excluded from the team that would be going to Bangladesh for another round of cricket. As per the tentative schedule – there would be a one-off Test at Fatullah from June 10-14. That will be followed by a best-of-three ODI series from June 18-24 – all of these matches would be played at Mirpur and there would be one reserve day each.
This has been reported in cricbuzz.com dated 15 May 2015.

The IPL season is coming to an end in another weeks’ time. Indian cricketers had been fully engaged in the past several months with tours abroad in England and Australia-New Zealand followed by the 2015 Cricket World Cup. It is but natural that tiredness has set in and the players would like to have some time off to spend with their families. MS Dhoni has already announced retirement from Test cricket and Virat Kohli has been named the new captain. He had led the team in Australia after Dhoni's announcement at the conclusion of the third Test at Melbourne. However, he also wants to be excused from the Bangladesh tour.
Bangladesh cricket were minnows but, today, it is on the upswing and, in case India decides to send a No 2 team, it would reflect poorly on the commitment of Indian cricket to the cause of the game.
The selectors would decide on the team on 20 May.
