Kolkata, July 21 (TIWN) Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still fit to continue and if the Indian team wants the best out of him, the selectors should think of managing his workload properly, feels the former India captain's childhood coach Keshav Banerjee.

The mystery surrounding Dhoni's future was put to rest temporarily on Saturday after he decided to take a two-month break and serve his army regiment after a gruelling India Premier League season and the 2019 World Cup. It is no secret that Dhoni had already made himself unavailable for the tour of West Indies, but he has now informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that he is joining the Parachute Regiment of the Territorial Army. "Dhoni still has cricket left in him. I know that. He is still fit enough to play international cricket," Banerjee said. Since the end of the World Cup where India lost in the semi-finals to New Zealand, talks have been rife about Dhoni's retirement with selectors also reportedly not keen on assuring the 2007 World T20 and 2011 World Cup winning captain a place in the playing XI.
