Mumbai: The selectors announced the team for the upcoming T20 series on Friday. The Indian team will play the T20 series against South Africa next month. Former captain and veteran wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was not included in this team. After this, there was speculation that the selectors were ignoring Dhoni and perhaps the time has come for his retirement. But on these things one national selector said that Dhoni has given time to prepare the team for the World T20 to be held in Australia next year.
