Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has the option of playing for the East Zone team in the upcoming Duleep trophy if he makes himself available for the cricket tournament, an ACA spokesman said, two days after the selection of the team.
The selection committee has decided to inform Dhoni for the second time about the option, Assam Cricket Association sources said. The final team for the East Zone squad was announced here on Saturday without the name of Dhoni as he could not be contacted despite repeated efforts to confirm his availability.
The selection committee had decided to give the Indian skipper an opportunity. Jharkand State Cricket Association selector Jodh Singh was clueless about Dhoni's availability.
As Dhoni's availability could not be confirmed, 0rissa opener Shib Sundar Das was made the Captain of the squad announced in Guwahati on Saturday. East Zone will open their campaign against West Zone in Mumbai from january 29. The ACA would provide Rs three lakh to the Assam Olympic Association on the lines of the BCCI for preparing the state team for the National Games in Jharkhand next month.
