The BCCI president-elect Sourav Ganguly has made it clear that he would like to know the national selection committee's plans with regards to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's future and then give his opinion on the matter.
The 39-year-old Dhoni has been on a sabbatical post India's World Cup exit and is unlikely to feature in three-match T20 series against Bangladesh, set to be picked on October 24.
While Dhoni has not announced his international retirement, the selectors have time and again made clear that they intend to move forward keeping next year's World T20 in mind.
"I will find out from the selectors when I meet them on October 24. We will find out what the selectors are thinking and then I will put forth my opinion," the soon-to-be board supremo Ganguly told reporters at Eden Gardens.
Ganguly also said that he would like to speak to Dhoniand know what he wants.
"We will have to see what Dhoni wants. I will also speak to him what he wants to do and what he does not want to do."
"Devang and Jatin are eligible to continue. There will be a couple of changes though. We will have to see who has how many days left in their respective tenures."
On who all congratulated him, Ganguly said: "Shikhar (Dhawan), Rishabh (Pant), Jinks (Ajinkya Rahane), Jasprit (Bumrah), Zak (Zaheer), Viru (Virender Sehwag), Bhajji (Harbhajan Singh) have all congratulated. Also Arjuna Ranatunga, Sanath Jayasuriya, Nasser Hussain."
