Xtra Time Web Desk: BCCI secretary Jay Shah on Tuesday said that MS Dhoni will not be charging any honorarium for his services as the mentor of the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

“MS Dhoni is not charging any honorarium for his services as the mentor of Indian team for the T20 World Cup,” BCCI Secretary Jay Shah to ANI.

Dhoni was revealed as the mentor for the Indian team on the same day of the announcement of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup.

Dhoni, who leads Chennai Super Kings, is a three-time IPL-winning captain and has brought home three major ICC trophies for India — 2007 World T20, 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and 2011 World Cup.

Jay Shah had said the decision to call up the 40-year-old retired international and the country’s most-celebrated white-ball cricketer was taken after he met Dhoni in Dubai, where IPL teams had started converging to complete the unfinished Covid-hit Season 12.
