MS Dhoni is set to train with the Jharkhand Under-23 team in his hometown. The camp for the national one-day tournament is starting on October 31. The reports from New Indian Express confirm that Dhoni will be in Jharkhand for the training.

There are questions over Dhoni's future in cricket, but the way he is training and looking after his game, it seems like the 38-year-old would continue playing. A source revealed that the former India captain would have trained with the senior Jharkhand team, but they are leaving for Surat to participate in the domestic T20 tournament.

"He spoke to a support staff of the senior Jharkhand team, but as they would be leaving for Surat to participate in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20s starting on November 8, he is likely to practice with under-23 boys at the stadium," said a source close to developments.

The U-23 team will leave for Jaipur. Their camp starts a week before the clash against Kerala on November 1.

"He has started working on his fitness by training at the gym. He also plays badminton, tennis, and billiards at the venue. They all are part of his preparations. He might start playing competitive cricket from January, which means he will not be a part of the Jharkhand team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy," added the source.

Dhoni is still not pressurized by the team management to take a call. Even newly appointed BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has said he will respect Dhoni's decision.
