Reports emerged on November 5 that Dhoni might be seen as a commentator for the historic Test match. The broadcasters have sent the proposal and it awaited approval from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

However, a source close to the development has ruled out any chances of MS Dhoni commentating on the day-night Test. As per the existing constitution, Dhoni commentating would also amount to a conflict of interest as he is still an India player.

There is no way Dhoni can commentate,” a source close to the player told PTI when asked about the possibility of Dhoni being behind the mic during the pink-ball Test.

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni made him unavailable from cricket since India’s ouster from the semifinals of the ICC World Cup. The cricketer from Ranchi had poor returns in the premier tournament in England and decide to take a sabbatical. During this period, the veteran cricketer worked with the Army in the month of August.

He also played an amateur golf tournament in the USA and took part in a charity football match. He recently started his training in Ranchi with Jharkhand’s U-23 team but is unlikely to return to action soon. And if reports are to be believed the illustrated cricketer will not be seen in action before January 2020.
