“Just like Dhoni has been one of the greatest servants of Indian cricket, his love for the armed forces is also wellknown. This idea that he would go and spend time with his regiment was in the pipeline for a while but it took a backseat due to his cricketing commitments.”

“This will also help increase awareness among the youth about the armed forces and that is what Dhoni wants,” the source said.

Earlier, the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman had made himself unavailable for the West Indies tour. India will be playing three T20Is, three ODIs and two Test matches beginning August 3.

Ever since the culmination of World Cup in the UK where India reached the semi-finals, speculations have been rife about Dhoni’s retirement. The team management has asked him to hang around as they groom Rishabh Pant with an eye on the 2020 World T20 in Australia.
