Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni Friday urged people to refrain from "criticising individual preferences" with regards to a number of India internationals who have decided to skip this year's Ranji Trophy.

Players like Yuzvendra Chahal and Shikhar Dhawan decided to give Ranji Trophy a miss while someone like Ambati Rayudu, who plays for India in only one format decided to retire from first-class cricket.
