Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Dhoni to pad up for Jharkhand?

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is likely to bolster Jharkhand's Twenty20 campaign in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

The former India skipper may pad up for his state side in their last East Zone league round match on Feburary 5, team sources said according to agency reports.

"The T20I series against England will get over on February 1 (in Bangalore) and on his way back (to Ranchi) he's likely to join the team here," a team official said after Jharkhand lost their opening round encounter against Assam by four wickets at Eden Gardens here today.

Jharkhand take on hosts Bengal in a high-voltage East Zone league match and the team source added that a final confirmation on Dhoni's availability would be known only after February 1.

Dhoni usually joins his state team as 'mentor' whenever he gets time. The last time he was seen cheering Saurabh Tiwary and Co. was ahead of their Ranji Trophy semifinal against Gujarat in Nagpur earlier this month.

Jharkhand will play their next match against Odisha on January 31, followed by game against Tripura the next day.
