Selectors should inform Dhoni if they have decided to move forward: Sehwag

Former India opener Virender Sehwag on Thursday said the selection committee must speak to Mahendra Singh Dhoni if the veteran batsman is no longer in their scheme of things, moving forward.

There is intense speculation that Dhoni, who has already retired from the Test format, has played his last ODI following India's semifinal exit from the World Cup.

Sehwag feels that retirement is Dhoni's individual call but selectors must speak to him before announcing the West Indies squad.

"It should be left to MS Dhoni to decide when to hang his boots. The duty of the selectors is to reach out to Dhoni and inform him that he is no more being seen as India's wicket-keeper batsman going forward. I wish the selectors had asked me as well about my plans," Sehwag said during a panel discussion on 'ABP news', his target being co-panellist Sandeep Patil.

Patil was the chairman of selectors when Sehwag was dropped from the side in 2013 and he never made a comeback.

An embarrassed Patil then apologised .
