New Delhi, Feb 3: Former skipper M.S. Dhoni has been away from the game since India's exit in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup and that has led to questions being raised on whether he will make a comeback or not. While Dhoni is busy spending quality time with his family and fulfilling commercial commitments, former skipper Kapil Dev feels Dhonis comeback looks difficult as he has not played for a long time.
"If you haven't played cricket for so long then I don't think you can come back from anywhere. But he still has IPL, his form there'll be important and selectors should see what is best for the country. Dhoni has done a lot for the country but when you don't play for 6-7 months, you leave a doubt in everyone's mind. And then that creates a lot of discussions which shouldn't happen," Kapil was quoted as saying by ABP News.
Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar had also earlier raised questions over Dhoni's sabbatical. "Fitness is something that I can't tell you anything about. The question that needs to be asked is of MSD himself. He has not made himself available to play for India since tenth of July. That is the important question. Does anybody keep himself away from playing for this long? That is the question and therein lies the answer," he had said.
