Veteran cricketer Kapil Dev has said the topic of wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni's future in T20s is better left to the selectors.
The captain of the 1983 World Cup winning team said the 36-year-old Ranchi cricketer is in a good form, but it's ultimately the selectors who have to take a call on his future in the shortest format of the game.
Kapil Dev was speaking to reporters in Hyderabad at the 3rd Krishnapatnam Port Golden Eagles Golf Championship.
A few former India cricketers, including V V S Laxman and Ajit Agarkar, recently raised questions about Dhoni's T20 future, creating quite a storm in the country's cricketing circles.
Asked about Indian cricketers undergoing DNA test which helps sportspersons in improving their speed, endurance and other aspects of physical agility, Kapil Dev said he cannot answer the question.
Replying to a query, he said the opposition (rival teams) should be respected and credit should be given to them if they played well.
