Indian team's veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan retired from international and domestic cricket two days ago on 24 August. His decision broke the hearts of the fans. It seemed that he would never be seen on the cricket field again. That's why his fans were sad, but now a good news has come for them. Dhawan has announced to play cricket just two days after his retirement. He will soon be seen competing with big giants. Knowing about Dhawan's decision, this question may arise in your mind that did he take a U-turn from retirement? So let us tell you the whole truth about it.

Where will Dhawan play?

By retiring, Shikhar Dhawan has only said goodbye to international and domestic cricket, not cricket.

He is still fit and has the ability to play league cricket. Team India's veteran opener has revealed in a statement to PTI that he will be seen playing in the Legends League Cricket (LLC) from now on. This makes it clear that he has not taken a U-turn from retirement, but has announced to play league cricket.

Dhawan said that cricket is something that can never be taken away from him. Cricket will never go away from him. His body is completely fit and he fulfills every criteria required for this game.

That is why he has decided to play in this league. Let us tell you that according to the rules of BCCI, before retirement, Indian players cannot play in any other league except IPL. However, this rule does not apply to Dhawan now.

The match will be held in September

Retired players take part in Legends League Cricket. Many retired Indian players like Irfan Pathan and Suresh Raina are still playing in it. Many foreign players including Chris Gayle are also a part of this league. LLC started in 2020 and its 4 seasons have been played.

In the 2023 season, Manipal Tigers captained by Harbhajan Singh won the trophy. Its 5th season is going to start in September, in which Dhawan will also be seen.
