In a press release, BCCI said, “India ODI and T20I captain MS Dhoni has suffered a muscle spasm in the back during a training session today in Dhaka.”

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Parthiv Patel as the back-up wicketkeeper for the upcoming Asia Cup, 2016. He will join the team in Dhaka at the earliest,” said the media release.
