MS Dhoni kept everyone in doubt whether he will play further or announce his retirement. However, newly-appointed BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and the selectors can resolve this issue by talking to him, said Sanjay Jagdale on Wednesday, the former secretary of the board. However, Ganguly said the matter regarding MS Dhoni will be solved and promised that everyone will get respect during his tenure.

“The issue of Dhoni’s future is not a big one and it should not be blown out of proportion. Ganguly and the selectors can easily resolve this issue by talking directly to Dhoni,” Sanjay Jagdale, also a former national selector, told PTI. “Such issues are normally resolved by holding talks with big cricketers in every country.”

MS Dhoni has made himself unavailable for the selection since the ICC World Cup semifinal against New Zealand where India lost to them. However, Jagdale also welcomed the move of Ganguly and also praised him and hoped Ganguly will do better with his vast experience.

“It’s a good start,” Jagdale said, he further added, “I believe his vast experience as a cricketer and sports administrator will benefit Indian cricket.”

Ganguly was earlier associated with the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and also was the president.

“Ganguly has done a good job as the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal,” Jagdale said.

While he was asked about the challenges which Ganguly is going to face, Jagdale said he should encourage domestic cricket to prepare a strong pool of players by raising the necessary sports infrastructure in the country.
