Former India captain MS Dhoni, who took a break from cricket to serve in the Army after India’s ouster from the 2019 World Cup, has extended his break and will not be available for selection until November this year. He will miss out on both the Vijay Hazare Trophy as well as the home T20I series against Bangladesh.

What this also means is that the earliest he can now make a comeback to the Indian side will be when West Indies visit for a T20I series in December.

There have been plenty of speculations around his future and how the selectors deal with the transition.
