BCCI Didn't Treat MS Dhoni Well, Deserved a Farewell Game, Says Saqlain Mushtaq

In India and Pakistan both, there is a huge fan following of the cricketers, and are treated like gods. But MS Dhoni's retirement without a proper farewell match hasn't gone down well with some of the players from Pakistan. Latest entrant in the list is Saqlain Mushtaq, who feels that the BCCI did not treat him the right way, and should have given him one last match.

“I always say positive things and try not to spread negativity in any way but I think I should say this. This is kind of a defeat of BCCI. They did not treat a big player like him in the right way. The retirement shouldn’t have happened like this. This is coming straight from my heart and I believe millions of his fans feel the same way. I’m really sorry to BCCI that I’m saying this but they didn’t treat Dhoni well, I’m hurt,” said Saqlain in his YouTube channel.

Dhoni, unexpectedly announced his retirement on August 15 this year. Saqlain added, “May God bless him in his future endeavours and whatever decisions he makes but there is one regret that I have. I think Dhoni’s every fan will have the same regret. It would’ve been great to see him retire after playing in the India kit for one last time."

“Glad that he will play in IPL. But his international retirement should have been different. Every cricketer has some dreams, I had that too but because of my injury that didn’t materialize but I believe every cricketer wants to exit the game on a high as he had entered it. I’m sure Dhoni must have had this dream.”
