Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh said he doesn’t think Mahendra Singh Dhoni will play for the country any longer.
Dhoni has not shown up for nation or club since a year ago ODI World Cup and India’s coronavirus lockdown could compromise his odds of getting again into the national group.
The IPL, the fundamental stage before the current year’s planned T20 World Cup, is probably going to be shortened or dropped due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Harbhajan, who plays with Dhoni at IPL side Chennai Super Kings, said international retirement was on the cards for Dhoni and that he was progressively being gotten some information about his colleague.
“It’s up to him. You need to know whether he wants to play for India again,” Harbhajan said in an online forum.
“As far as I know him, he won’t want to wear India’s blue jersey again. IPL he will play, but for India, I think he had decided the (2019) World Cup was his last.”
Dhoni, who stop playing Test cricket in 2014, began preparing for the Super Kings in March yet has not remarked on his international future.
Dhoni drove India to win the debut Twenty20 World Cup in 2007. He hit a six to seal the 2011 World Cup last victory and, alongside it, his status as a national saint. He has amassed 10,773 runs from 350 ODIs.
