This year's Indian Premier League (IPL) may be MS Dhoni's last season as he has not participated in any tournament after retiring from international cricket.

In this context, many people are wondering why MS Dhoni is not playing for the SA Super Kings franchise or coaching them.

The answer to this question is that according to BCCI rules, MS Dhoni, like any other Indian player, cannot do this.

[{"selector":"#anim-999be0be-1ab3-4466-b6fd-9d526365d5a9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.843749786673241%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1acc68a-33ce-42ed-b3d2-ebc0ed0596aa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ee9f370-edd3-41e6-a416-fd82f5cb8d6b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 175.98808%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

According to the rules, an Indian player is not allowed to participate in foreign tournaments if they have participated in any format of Indian cricket.

[{"selector":"#anim-e8534e73-4506-4ce4-a2e5-c1f37a8598df [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.843749786673241%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d150697-1cc0-483a-bd67-594413063615","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54242184-5240-406b-84a8-57674b567684","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.05822%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

To play in a foreign league, a player must retire from all formats of Indian cricket, including the Indian Premier League (IPL).

[{"selector":"#anim-160a0ae3-80bf-4e41-8327-9d46dd3a84a2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(3.1433106085270093%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23afbe3d-c5d7-42af-9172-8f1d8bd3e9a4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f2d65a2-7189-4ef7-813c-c7187d8318ba","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 175.31695%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Due to this rule, MS Dhoni cannot have any association with any foreign franchise. To do this, he will have to retire from Indian cricket, including the IPL.
