IMO focus shouldn't be on competitive game but having some fun and good time, doesn't matter who wins or lose as long as Players and Spectators enjoying the charity game. They should even add some female cricketers too Grin

There are many options like they can spend one week for farewell because they can do this all with 4 teams mixes few femal and male players and 2 early matches then 1 final is going to be very interesting and profitable then they can give good money to some old players as well just like we have in past from CBFS in Sharjah.

Tournament seems bit too much and overdo in context of such exhibition game. Spectators might get bored watching long mixed tournament, it happened with the recent retired player's tournament where they featured for "Road Safety" cause.

~snip~

I am OK with the female players as well. The only thing I want is an even split of the current players between two teams. Maybe we can have a Kohli XI and a Dhoni XI playing against each other. Lets assume the composition as follows - Out of the 11 players 6 will be current players, 4 would be former players and the remaining individual would be a female.

I don't have anything against players having some fun. But since this is a beneficiary match, the ticket prices may be quite high and those who pay for these tickets deserve to see some quality action out there. Let's have an ideal balance of both.

Fair enough...

Its good idea, i would say BCCI should make this type of initiative as some kind of tradition where once a year or may every 2 years all player playing one exhibition game and donate all earnings.

Idea is good, but at the same time I am not sure whether it is practical. Players such as Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid and Agarkar have been out of competitive cricket for so long and therefore they may refuse this offer. Even if they participate, it may turn out to be a one sided match. A better idea may be to split the current Indian squad to two teams.

Not only Dhoni I think many people really deserved a farewell match but couldn't get one. For example Rahul Dravid being the greatest example. Yuvraj Singh? Suresh Raina? Gautam Gambhir? Despite of the fact that they weren't captains but you just cannot undermine their contributions they were kings of cricket in their times. I had this bizzare idea that BCCI can have a one match with the current indian team lead by kohli against this team lead by Dhoni

It is true that BCCI does not have the sentiments like the cricket fans and you need to understand that the president of BCCI were all politicians and they had no relation with cricket and now things have changed and Sourav Ganguly who transformed the team is leading the board and we will see major changes in that aspect. Apart from BCCI the rest of the cricket boards usually give a good farewell series for their top players and we only got that with Sachin Tendulkar.

Regarding playing with the current team against veterans will not be a fair match.

I guess BCCI might be trying to avoid the chaos considering the present pandemic situation. Also they need to first take permission from the local authorities in order to conduct a match out of their regular schedule. It would be nice if they are able to do something to honor the legend.

I don't think that getting permission from the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) is a big deal, considering their good relationship with the BCCI. I would say that this is the ideal opportunity to conduct such a match, since almost all the star players will be in UAE at this time. Scheduling a match at a later period may not be feasible due to the ongoing pandemic situation.

Even ICC posted tribute video for MSD but I don't see anything from BCCI so they are not much interested about anything other than the revenue from IPL.Even if there is no farewell match for him everyone know he is legendary player and comes from nowhere and still holds the record of winning captain of all the trophies from ICC and still no other captain got it.

BCCI is focussing more on the month-long IPL I guess, they might do something after the IPL. A farewell match would have been great to honor this legend. A lot of fans like me are expecting a farewell match from BCCI I hope they look into this matter and take a decision soon.

I agree with you that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has dedicated his entire life to his country and there should be a farewell match for him. He is a great cricketer.[^Legend]
Because I can't watch much cricket news, I wanted to know, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is resigning from all formats?

Not only Dhoni I think many people really deserved a farewell match but couldn't get one. For example Rahul Dravid being the greatest example. Yuvraj Singh? Suresh Raina? Gautam Gambhir?

The list has some of the players who had helped India in winning the different world cups and certainly 1 of the money raising events say only for pandemic or so after IPL can be done will be a good idea to see all this stars play and will be fun watching as well them in the field. But will it happen, or will BCCI take any interest in such events is the biggest question?

BCCI would take interest in anything which gives them money. This match could be a great money bagger so i don't think there should be any problem with this any one would love to see their heroes back on field.

^I like that idea too, experienced cricketers vs fit and form players but its highly impossible to happen in reality. Yuvraj is one of the legend and took the Indian cricket to the next level in 2000's by his fielding and stroke makings and his contribution in 2011 world cup is something unimagineable, he played with cancer and also blood vomit in a match just because he wanted the team to win and hope/dream of billions from India...

Why impossible? Recently Sachin Tendulkar played a few charity games and so did other players. A game of similar fashion can be seen all these players are almost younger or of similar age of tendulkar. I understand that fitness would be one concern but still it's a friendly match after all.

That would depend upon the success of the first match. If they find it is a success they will do anything to make it a tradition.

He took retirement from the Whites way back in 2014. Recent announcement is for international limited over cricket (ODI/T-20) only, not franchise cricket (IPL) tho...
