Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Viswanathan said about Dhoni's retention, 'At the moment we really don't know anything. In Dhoni's case we may not use the uncapped cricketer rule. Can't say anything too soon. Because, we cannot communicate with Dhoni. There was no talk about this with him.'

However, Vishwanath said that discussions with Dhoni will be held in a few days. Dhoni was in the US. So I didn't talk to him. I am going to USA this week. I hope to be able to contact him next week.'

Indian cricketers who retire before five years will be treated as 'uncapped' cricketers, the governing council of the IPL has said.
