I think he will not play but he is MS Dhoni -Matthew
“Whether he will play next year or not is irrelevant now. I think he will not play but he is MS Dhoni,” he said at an event organized by the University of Technology Sydney.
Hayden also said that with the growing trend of T20 cricket across the world, it has become difficult for players to play in all three formats.
He said, “The time of players playing in all three formats is coming to an end. There is a lot of excitement about playing Test cricket and the World Test Championship is an example of that. Apart from this, there is a lot of T20 cricket happening.
He said that players who give up national contracts to play franchise cricket around the world cannot be blamed.
He said, “It is certain that tomorrow if children want to play cricket, they will play franchise cricket only. He has seen how active many players from underprivileged sections are, especially the West Indies cricketers. For example, would Nicholas Pooran want to play Test cricket? Before that Dwayne Bravo played Test cricket but mostly played franchise cricket around the world.
