Doors definitely shut for Dhoni if he doesn't do well in IPL: Dean Jones

New Delhi, July 24: Former Australian batsman and commentator Dean Jones feels that M.S. Dhoni's performance in the Indian Premier League will still be vital to whether he is taken back into the Indian team or not. But the pundit went on to add that this enforced break due to COVID-19 might be beneficial for the former skipper.

"At the moment it looks like the Indian selectors are going with Rishabh Pant and K.L. Rahul. If Dhoni has a wonderful IPL then he's away, but if he doesn't do well in the next IPL then perhaps his door is definitely shut. But, he's left the door open. This break might be fantastic for him. He has had a really good break and if he wants to come back out of this -- trust me as you get older it gets more difficult to come back from a break," Jones told TOI.
