The speculations regarding Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement were put to rest, on Thursday, with chief selector MSK Prasad saying that there was no update on the 38-year-old wicket-keeper batsman bidding adieu to cricket.

 

Dhoni's wife Sakshi amid speculations over retirement of the 38-year-old wicket-keeper batsman took to Twitter and wrote: "Its called rumours!"

Chief Selector M S K Prasad also denied all the rumours saying that there is no update on Dhoni's retirement.

Prasad announced the India squad for the Test series against South Africa at a press conference here. When he was asked if there was any update on Dhoni's retirement, Prasad said: "No, absolutely not. I am really surprised to hear that."
