India legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not expected to travel to the Caribbean for the team’s tour against the West Indies.
According to reports, the team has opted to groom new wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant after Dhoni came under criticism for his performance during the ICC World Cup.
“MS [Dhoni] will not go to the West Indies,” a source with knowledge of the situation told Times Now News said.
“Going forward, he will not travel with the team within India or overseas as the first-choice wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant will take over and there will be a grooming window for him until he settles down,” he added.
“During this time, MS will help in the transition. For all you know, he could be part of the 15 but not part of the 11. This team needs a guiding hand on multiple fronts and wishing MS away is clearly unhealthy.”
