Mahendra Singh Dhoni has stepped down as skipper of India's limited-overs sides, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced today (4 January).

Dhoni, however, will be available for selection for the three-match One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International series against England, starting 15 January.

Commenting on the development, BCCI Chief Executive Officer Rahul Johri said:

Test skipper Virat Kohli is the front-runner to replace the Ranchi wicketkeeper-batsman at the helm.
