Reports : MS Dhoni likely to practise with Jharkhand under-23 boys
While speculation has been rife about MS Dhoni's future as an India player, reports emerged that he is likely to train with the Jharkhand U-23 team at the JSCA International Stadium. The U-23 camp is organised for a week before the team leaves for Jaipur for the national one-day tournament.
Everyone and his grandmother is unsure about what the future holds for MS Dhoni as the former Indian skipper is at an indefinite sabbatical from the sport after the World Cup semi-final exit. However, for all those people eagerly awaiting for Dhoni's comeback, there is good news as the former skipper has started training at the gym in Jharkhand and is likely to train with the Jharkhand U-23 team.
“He spoke to a support staff of the senior Jharkhand team but as they would be leaving for Surat to participate in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20s starting on November 8, he is likely to practise with under-23 boys at the stadium,” said a source close to developments told Indian Express.
“He has started working on his fitness by training at the gym. He also plays badminton, tennis and billiards at the venue. They all are part of his preparations. He might start playing competitive cricket from January which means he will not be a part of the Jharkhand team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy,” added the source.
While Sourav Ganguly, after being appointed as Indian captain, said he doesn't know what is in MS Dhoni's mind, he promised that a player of his stature will be accorded respect.Â
