Whatever being said, i have still my doubts on the teams performance in England conditions. None of these players except for Virat, Rahane will be able to survive such conditions. Remember we are playing CT and WC in England next. We should prepare a team which can adopt conditions in England. The team players like Murli Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara should be included in ODI team.
I request all of you that please let them play for the country as long as they can serve in any position. More importantly Dhoni should be allowed to play only as leader till he retires as we cannot think of playing Dhoni as a mere player even he himself cannot assume himself as a player alone.

If Dhoni cannot assume himself as a player alone, he should be dropped from the team immediately. Remember, No one individual is bigger than the team.
See the poor show by NZ . They were reduced to 105 for 8 at one point & could not even cross 200 mark .
See how India B team mauled the Kiwis .
Team India was without Shikhar Dhawan , Ashwin , Jadeja , Raina , Shami , still they crushed NZ badly .
I remember there were discussion among media & cricket fans that these victories are due to some ' doctored & spin friendly pitches ' but yesterday major wickets were taken by our fast bowlers like Pandya & Umesh Yadav .
Hence blaming spin friendly or flat pitches is totally meaningless .
As I said, another white wash is on cards .
These AUS / NZ / ENG / SA can win only on their own grounds , its once again proved .

I think it is aim of MS Dhoni to retire after 2019 world cup. But I am still against split captaincy. Indians are egoistic in nature hence this split captaincy may not work. My only suggestion is that Dhoni should give away his captaincy to Virat and play like a carefree Dhoni of old.
