Dhoni said this
Speaking at a promotional event, Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that I want to enjoy whatever cricket I have been able to play in the last few years. When you play cricket like a professional game, it becomes difficult to enjoy it like a game. This is what I want to do. It is not easy. The emotions keep coming. I want to enjoy this game for the next few years. I have to keep myself fit for nine months, so that I can play IPL for two and a half months. You need to plan it, but also be a little calm.
Can be retained as an uncapped player
