MS Dhoni remains one of the most successful captains that the Indian team, having guided them to all three ICC trophies with the first one coming in 2007. Since the keeper-batsman’s final game in the national colours, talks of his international future began trending.

According to the JSCA Secretary Sanjay Sahay, they have planned a felicitation about which they will consult MS Dhoni as and when he returns from the UAE, where the 2020 IPL would take place. They did have an annual meeting on Sunday; however, the members will arrive at a decision only after speaking with the former Indian captain.

“As of now they have planned to consult the former India captain for his felicitation once he returns home from the UAE after the completion of the IPL. After we talk to him only then we can come to any decision about it. We haven’t taken any deicison today,” Sanjay Sahay told Times of India.

We will definitely request MS Dhoni for the felicitation: JSCA

Sahay further said that they would indeed request the iconic cricketer for the felicitation. If the BCCI does not perform it, the association will do it in their way.

“We will definitely request MS Dhoni for the felicitation. Whatever we do we need to ask him first. BCCI will probably do it their own way but if it doesn’t happen then definitely we would like to do something about it,” he added.
