New Delhi: Talks of M.S. Dhonis future have made headlines right from his struggle against England in the group stage encounter at Edgbaston in the World Cup.
While the team management has made it clear that they havent heard from the former India skipper, it is also unlikely that he will be travelling to the Caribbean Islands for the West Indies series. That provides the selectors with the perfect opportunity to give Rishabh Pant more game time.
While there have been off-record quotes wherein some have said that he is unlikely to continue after the World Cup, there are others who have said that he could carry on and help in the process of transition and act more as a mentor than be a part of the playing XI.
But for the moment, the selectors must look at the job in hand and that is to lay the foundation stones with an eye on the 2023 World Cup which means giving youngsters like Pant a go.
