Will MS Dhoni Play World T20 in Australia? Brad Hogg Answers

Former Australian leg-spinner Brad Hogg on Saturday, during a Q&A session on Twitter, spoke of former India skipper MS Dhoni about whether he fits into the squad for the World T20 in Australia later this year.

Dhoni’s return was on the cards in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), but the tournament has been postponed in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak till April 15.

Hogg feels due to lack of international exposure, Dhoni cannot get back in the team. Hogg also felt that in IPL, Dhoni is playing most of the matches in spin-friendly pitches which is different from what he has to counter in Australia, he does not make it to the side over Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul.

Hogg’s response to the fan read, “Pending IPL performances, but sadly I think not, due to lack of international exposure lately & IPL he is playing the majority of games in Chennai (if it goes ahead) which is suited for spin not pace, the conditions he will get in Australia.”
