MSK Prasad has his say on MS Dhoni’s retirement rumours

The outgoing chairman of selectors MSK Prasad said that he is a big fan of MS Dhoni but added that it is duty of the selectors to move on and identify the next generation of cricketers to take over the reins from the veteran wicket-keeper batsman. The rumours of Dhoni’s retirement has been making the rounds after he was not offered a central contract and right now, it looks like his performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) will play a major role in deciding his place in the squad for the T20 World Cup which will take place in October this year.

When asked about Dhoni’s chances, Prasad was clear that the veteran has achieved everything there is to be achieved but the selectors are still looking at young talents to replace him.

“As far as we are concerned, we are backing youngsters and giving them as many opportunities to settle well and play long,” Prasad was quoted as saying by Sportstar.
