CHENNAI: India skipper MS Dhoni insisted that his Test-retirement comment made in Australia earlier this year was 'blown out of proportion', and that if he had to choose one format to play he would opt for One-day cricket, Times of India reported.

Dhoni said his retirement plans depend on how his body feels late next year.

“By the end of 2013, I will have to see where my body stands. If am not fit enough, I will make way for a youngster, who can play 50-60 games before the big tournament.

“If my body forces me to carry on in only one format, I would choose the 50-over format,” he said.

“By 2014, if I think I may not be in good shape to play the 2015 World Cup, I will give up both formats to make way for a replacement, who needs to settle down,” Dhoni told a conference on Tuesday.
