Shoaib Akhtar has stated that MS Dhoni is unnecessarily dragging his career for far too long and should have retired after the 2019 World Cup in England. Dhoni has not played a competitive game since the World Cup semifinal in July but was preparing to make a much-anticipated comeback with the IPL.

Australian Captain Aaron Finch has admitted that they bloomed early in the 50-over World Cup and didn’t do well towards the end. He has added that they must be wary about reaching the peak of their playing potential too early in the ICC T20 World Cup that begins in Australia in October this year.
