The speculation over Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s retirement from all forms of international cricket has gotten more intense with the news that he wants to retire only after the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in Australia next year. Though he hasn’t made an official statement with regards to his plans to continue, he has been testing the waters by expressing his desire to continue playing with some officials.
What Chief Selector Told about Dhoni before selecting Squad for WI Series?
BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad on Sunday insisted that the management wants to groom young wicket-keeper-batsman Rishabh Pant , who has been included in all the three squads for the upcoming tour to the West Indies. Pant will be India's lone wicket-keeper in the limited overs leg of the West Indies. Further he added that, Dhoni is unavailable for WI series. We had certain road map till World Cup 2019 and we subsequently have some plans and we want to groom Pant and that is the plan right now.
What's My Opinion About Dhoni's Retirement?
The expectations for Dhoni are always so high. He has already retired from test cricket and
only playing in shorter formats. But we always associate MSD with that brutal batsman of
his younger days. And the moment he does not do that, some people feel his reflexes have
declined. And starts to tell that Dhoni should retire. Players of that legendary stature don't
need to be told. They know what is expected of them. I feel like he have much more cricket
left in him and he also confirmed that in an event to the press that he will continues to play
if he stay fit after world cup 2019. The way Dhoni has played in the last couple of series,
in Australia and New Zealand, the message is very, very clear: now he has decided to play
his natural way. This is the Dhoni that we know. We will be very happy if he can replicate
those fearless knocks, using that brutal force he has within him. some point, perhaps
because of a shortage of match time, he might have been short runs. But now that he is
playing continuously, you can see his touch once again. I hope he will play
t-20, 2020 World Cup also India win it for Dhoni.
