World Cup-winning former Indian captain MS Dhoni has communicated to the selectors that he will be 'unavailable' for the series against West Indies, and thereby has laid to rest all talks about immediate retirement.

There have been growing speculations about MS Dhoni's retirement after the World Cup 2019 got over but Dhoni has told the BCCI that he will be taking a short sabbatical from cricket to serve a unit in the Indian defence forces.
