Fans Furious As Dhoni Left Out Of India Squad For Windies, Aus T20Is

The BCCI on Friday night announced the India squad for the Twenty20 international series against the Windies (home) and Australia (away) with skipper Virat Kohli being rested for three matches against the Caribbean outfit. 

But there was another big name missing from the list -- MS Dhoni. Dhoni was excluded from both the T20I squads with youngster Rishabh Pant set to don the gloves. Chief selector MSK Prasad quickly moved to dispel talk of Dhoni's retirement, assuring fans that this was not the end for the former India captain in T20Is.

The news of Dhoni's exclusion soon went viral on social media and fans came in their numbers to express their displeasure at the decision.

No use to watch Ind vs Australia match. No Dhoni. If Dhoni is not there then no indian cricket.

So No Dhoni in these matches. 
Dear BCCI, I have seen many selfish decisions, but this 1 has topped it! 
Dk, Pant in place of Dhoni? Lets see how will they perform.

Just a free suggestion, Exclude Dhoni from WC19 too, and if u have capability, show passing even the league stages

With the next T20 World Cup in 2020 in Australia, former players and cricket pundits felt that this could be the end of the road for Dhoni in T20Is.

 No Dhoni in T20s means WC 2019 is the last world cup for the legend. The call is loud and clear. Hope he wins it and celebrates at the Lords balcony.
