Indian captain MS Dhoni ruled out of Brisbane Test with arm injury Out: India's captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will miss the first Test against Australia at the Gabba starting on December 4 with an arm injury. India's BCCI announced late on Monday night that the wicketkeeper-batsman would not be fit for the first of four Tests the tourists will play against Michael Clarke's team this summer. M.S. Dhoni has been rested for the first Test as a prophylactic measure to ensure optimum recovery. He will join the team from the second Test onwards, and will lead the team for the rest of the Test series," a BCCI statement said. The injury has forced Dhoni to sit out the one-day series against Sri Lanka that was scheduled after the West Indies pulled out of their tour to the subcontinent over a pay dispute with their own board. Batsman Virat Kohli will take over as captain for the first Test. While the scratching of Dhoni is a blow to the squad, he is likely to be a huge asset to the Indians in their World Cup defence. Two additional keepers - Wriddhiman Saha and Naman Ojha - were announced in the squad to tour Australia while Suresh Raina will make a notable return to the Test set-up having not featured since September 2012. India will hope to improve on their 4-0 Test thrashing last time they toured Australia. Indian team to tour Australia: M.S. Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, K.L. Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Wriddhiman Saha, Naman Ojha, R. Ashwin, Karn Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Mohd. Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron.
