Will speak to MS Dhoni: Sourav Ganguly on World Cup-winning captain's retirement
Kolkata: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president-elect Sourav Ganguly has said he will speak to former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni over his future plans as a player of the national side, media reports said.
When asked about the retirement of Dhoni, who took a sabbatical after the 2019 Cricket World Cup, Ganguly said he will talk to the selectors first as he was "not in the picture" before.
Ganguly also said he would also like to talk to Dhoni to know what he wants and what he doesn't.
Though Dhoni's sabbatical is over, the Indian selectors have repeatedly insisted on giving chance to a new wicketkeeper-batsman keeping the 2020 T20 World Cup in mind.
Meanwhile, the selectors will pick a team for India's three-match T20 series against Bangladesh on Oct 24, a day after Ganguly will take charge as the BCCI president.
Ganguly, one of the most successful Indian captains, was unanimously nominated as the presidential candidate of the BCCI on Sunday late night.
