Prasad added that they had a chat with Dhoni and the 38-year-old cricketer also endorses the selection committee's "view of backing youngsters".
"We're looking at younger options after the World Cup, so you can understand our thought process. We definitely had a chat with Dhoni and he also endorses our view of backing youngsters," Prasad added.
India are scheduled to play three T20Is and two Tests against Bangladesh, starting November 3.
A day before the team selection, the BCCI's newly-elected president Sourav Ganguly when asked about Dhoni's future had said that "champions don't finish very quickly". He had also said that till he is around, "everybody will be respected".
