WATCH: MS Dhoni Back At Nets, Seen Batting In Ranchi

Despite his return to the practice session, Dhoni remains unavailable for the limited-overs bilateral series against the West Indies starting December 6

After a long sabbatical from the game, former Indian skipper MS Dhoni returned on the field as he hit the nets at the JSCA Cricket Stadium in Ranchi on Friday. A video surfaced on social media in which Dhoni could be seen batting at the nets against a local bowler. The clip went viral in no time as the fans demand the Big Man back in the team. Here’s the video: Despite his return to the practice session, Dhoni remains unavailable for the three T20s and as many ODIs against the West Indies starting December 6 in Mumbai. “He is not available for the West Indies series,” a BCCI official said on Friday. Ever since that World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand, Dhoni’s future has been a subject of intense speculation but the player himself has not spoken a word on it. The Indian team, as mentioned by chief selector MSK Prasad, seems to have moved on with Rishabh Pant becoming the number one choice in the shorter formats. Host broadcaster Star Sports wanted Dhoni to commentate in India’s first-ever day-night Test, against Bangladesh, from November 22-26, but he will not be doing that as he remains a contracted player of the BCCI. As per the existing constitution, Dhoni commentating would have also amounted to a conflict of interest.
