    "editor1": "<p><strong>Sep 8 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> The Indian selectors need to have a conversation about MS Dhoni&#39;s future with the national team and then prepare for a befitting send-off for the legendary former captain if necessary, another ex-India captain Anil Kumble has said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kumble, who passed on the Indian Test captaincy to Dhoni in 2008, has also said that while Rishabh Pant has shown a lot of ability to be a regular at least in the T20 format, the latter needs to be more consistent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m not really sure. I think Pant has certainly made a lot of claims as a keeper-batsman, especially in the T20 format. So, it&#39;s important to have a conversation and you need to have a proper send-off, he certainly deserves that,&quot; Kumble told CricketNext when asked if he would like to see Dhoni continue in international cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dhoni had sat out the T20I series against the West Indies immediately after the World Cup and is not available for the upcoming home series against South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kumble also said that if Dhoni is really in the scheme of things for the T20 World Cup next year, he should be playing every game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;For the team&#39;s sake, the selectors need to sit down and have a discussion around what the plans are because it&#39;s important that things be communicated. If the selectors believe that Dhoni is in the scheme of things for the T20 World Cup, then I think he should be playing every game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If he&#39;s not, then it&#39;s important that they have a discussion around how they need to make this happen. I think they need to do that in the next couple of months,&quot; Kumble said.<\/p>\r\n",
