He further added, “The players of Jharkhand have brought laurels to the state. MS Dhoni has made India proud in world cricket. Jharkhand also has a golden history in the field of hockey. The present government will strive to take sports and sportspersons forward. I am confident that JSCA will continue to take the players to great heights. It is my appeal to the players to take advantage of the resources and arrangements being provided by the JSCA and put Jharkhand on the world map.”

On January 16, Dhoni was excluded from the BCCI list of central contracts. However, on the same day, he was seen training with the Jharkhand Ranji team.

In fact, the veteran wicket-keeper batsman, who was training for the first time since India’s loss in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand in July last year, stunned Jharkhand coach Rajiv Kumar with his fluent batting.
