Kolkata : IPL Governing Council on September 27 announced multiple player regulations, and one of those regulations has opened the doors for the legendary Chennai Super Kings former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The Council stated that “A capped Indian player will become uncapped if the player has in the last five calendar years preceding the year in which the relevant Season is held, not played in the starting XI in International Cricket (Test match, ODI, Twenty20 International) or does not have a Central Contract with BCCI. This will be applicable for Indian Players only”.
Dhoni last represented India in 2019 World Cup and officially retired in 2020. This rule thereby applies to him who can now play as an “uncapped” player in Chennai Super Kings.
Although there’s no confirmation on whether Dhoni , now 43 , will play or not, CSK might have a try on retaining him under this category.
