Dhoni prempts questions on sabbatical, says don’t ask till Jan

MUMBAI: “Don’t ask me till January”, said Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday as he sought to steer clear of queries on his ongoing break from cricket, which has fuelled intense speculation about his future in the game.

“January tak mat poocho (don’t ask me till January),” said Dhoni at an event here before questions on his sabbatical, which started with India’s semifinal ouster from the World Cup in July, could even be thrown at him.

On Tuesday, a source close to the former India captain said he will take a call on his future after next year’s Indian Premier League (IPL).

Dhoni has been on a sabbatical since India’s semifinal exit from the ODI World Cup in England in July. (AGENCIES)
