MS Dhoni's IPL future hangs in balance

While Dhoni is enjoying his time away from cricket his participation in next year's IPL is still under question.

Speaking at an event recently, MS Dhoni has indicated that his decision to retire or continue playing in the IPL will be influenced by the number of player retentions allowed by the BCCI ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.

He said, "There is a lot of time for it. We have to see what decision they take on player retention etc. Right now, the ball is not in our court. So, once the rules and regulations get formalised, I will take a call, but needs to be in the best interest of the team,"
