MS Dhoni has not played a match after the upsetting semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. He has taken a long break from the cricket. He joined the Indian army to serve the country and then went to vacations. Dhoni enjoyed the holiday in America with his family. After his return from vacations, everyone expected the player to join the Indian team. But Dhoni has different plans.
He made himself unavailable for the recent home limited-overs series against South Africa and Bangladesh. And now, he is not available to play the home series against West Indies.
“He is not available for the West Indies series,” a BCCI official said on Friday.
