India is lucky to have a "stable" captain like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, according to Pakistan's ODI skipper Shahid Afridi who is still trying to play down his negative remarks against Indians that caused an uproar.

Pakistani selectors on Wednesday dropped faltering wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal from the one-day and Twenty20 squad for this month's tour of the West Indies and rested senior players.

A Pakistani court on Tuesday adjourned till March 16 a case against suspected CIA contractor Raymond Davis, arrested for gunning down two men here in January, after defence lawyers sought more time to study documents filed by the prosecution.

In a setback to US efforts to seek early release of its national Raymond Davis arrested for double murder, a Pakistani court on Thursday rejected his claim that he has diplomatic immunity and said it would go ahead with his trial.

A Pakistan court on Thursday put off ruling whether a US official accused of double murder has diplomatic immunity, threatening to prolong a crisis with Washington for another month.

The US has again pressed for the release of American official Raymond Davis, charged with murder in Pakistan, insisting that the authorities had not considered eyewitness accounts and physical evidence that showed he acted in self-defence.

A Pakistani court on Friday sent the US official Raymond Davis to jail on a 14-day judicial remand, after police wrapped up a double murder investigation into the shootings of two men, the prosecution said.

Pakistani police on Friday rejected the self-defence claim made by a US official who shot two men in broad daylight in a busy street late in January, saying it was a clear case of murder.
