Indian cricket team's skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images] has been nourishing hopes of setting up a cricket academy in Jharkhand but the busy cricket schedule ahead has put his project in limbo.

"Immediately it is very difficult, because there is Pakistan series. (And) next six months also, we are playing cricket," Dhoni said when quizzed on his plans for the academy.

Dhoni, who went to the famous Deori temple this morning, said he was happy that the state government was planning to set up an international standard cricket stadium in Jharkhand.

The star cricketer returned home on Wednesday and was felicitated by the state government on Thursday for leading India to triumph in the Twenty20 World Cup.

In a noble gesture, Dhoni donated rupees five lakh to the chief minister's relief fund after getting the amount as gift from chief minister Madhu Koda.

Koda also presented him with a Toyota car, which the star cricketer drove to the Deori temple, about 55 km from here, to offer puja this morning.
