Dhoni stone-walled questions on his Test retirement in the build-up to India's first ODI against Australia in the ongoing tri-series tomorrow.
Returning to the scene of his last Test, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Indian ODI skipper stayed mum on his exit from the five-day arena.
"The BCCI press release (about my retirement) explained everything. You can ask questions, but it is my decision (not to answer them). I will answer if I want to," he said, with a straight-face.
He was quite keen to talk about other things though, primarily the tri-series as a build-up to the World Cup.

"We will look to try out different things in this tournament," Dhoni said in the pre-match press conference.
"We have four games at least and five if we make the final. It is important for us to get the playing combination right. But at the same time we won't push players who have a few niggles that can transform into major injuries. We will give them that extra time if needed. We will manage the workload accordingly."
This essentially ruled out Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma out of tomorrow's game with no word on when the former will be fully fit.
