Time for Dhoni to give up the big gloves

MS Dhoni has often spoken about the need to manage injuries so that players are fresh for major tournaments. An article in the Mumbai Mirror feels it’s high time he applied this policy in relation to himself, given how he’s been struggling with a hand injury during the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and let Dinesh Karthik handle wicketkeeping duties.

With the three nation one-day series coming up followed by the Champions League, Test and ODI series against Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and then the 2011 World Cup it would be best advisable for Dhoni to hand over the big gloves to Dinesh Karthik — till his injury is fixed. Dhoni has himself in the past spoken about the need to manage injuries so as to keep the players fit for important tournaments.
