End Of Road For Dhoni?

Ever since the culmination of the 2019 World Cup, the one million dollar question that has been doing rounds in Indian cricket is about the fate of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Will he retire from international cricket? When on Thursday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) excluded Dhoni's name from its list of centrally contracted male cricketers for 2019-20 season.

It added more fuel to that fire: Will MSD retire? Dhoni's omission might be a possible indicator that his days as India cricketer are numbered. The Ranchi stumper took a sabbatical in the aftermath of India's World Cup exit where they suffered a crushing defeat against New Zealand in the semi-finals.

Thereafter he hasn't been considered for selection and chief selector M.S.K. Prasad has also stated that the team was "moving on" from one of the greats of the game to have ever played for India.
Late last year, Dhoni hinted that he would not reveal his plans until January 2020.

While Dhoni has remained tight-lipped about his future, Head Coach Ravi Shastri, in an interview with IANS, left open a small chance of Captain Cool's participation in this year's T20 World Cup, though it would be subject to his performance in the IPL this year and other selection dynamics.

Fans might feel that Dhoni's omission from BCCI contracts is a possible sign that the legendary World Cup-winning captain is now looking forward to a future sans Team India.

There are two reasons for fans not to speculate. One: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly's insistence on the fact that each and every individual cricketer will get due respect.

"You know champions don't finish quickly. I don't know what's in his mind and what he thinks about his career. So we will deal with that you know," Ganguly had said after taking over as the board president. "He is one of the greats of the game and India is proud to have MS Dhoni.
