The conference last Thursday was attended by every member of the India squad, but only Dhoni spoke.
Virender Sehwag has been ruled out of the ongoing ICC World T20 due to a shoulder injury," the Board of Control for Cricket in India said in a statement on Tuesday . "He will return to India after consulting medical experts in England."
Batsman Dinesh Karthik, who can also act as a backup wicketkeeper, has been called into the squad as Sehwag's replacement.
"Recent reports in the Indian media of a rift between myself and Sehwag amount to nothing but false and irresponsible media," Dhoni said then. "Our fans and supporters can take confidence from the wonderful unity that continues to exist in this team."

"As we prepare for the T20 World Cup, we are a superbly unified team. The team spirit is as good as it has ever been, with each individual supporting each other, both on and off the field.
Dhoni and the rest of the team immediately walked out and refused to answer any further questions.
India, which plays Ireland at Trent Bridge on Wednesday, has already qualified for the Super 8 stage after beating Bangladesh in its opening game.
