Does MS Dhoni miss international cricket?

“I thought I would have more time, but unfortunately I don’t have much time. I don’t miss international cricket because I believe you always think things through and then decide,” said Dhoni.
“Once you make a decision, you don’t have to think about it. So I am very happy with God’s grace for whatever I have been able to do for my country,” he said.
