Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi Vj, in athelete heart enlargement is physiological. It's called athelete s heart, if you have stopped training for 3-4 months , get an echo done again, if your heart is normal you can start playing and with training if it enlarges again, no need to worry as it's normal to have dilated in athletes.
I'd there is another cause of dilation then we have to tiger your exertion.
Do send me your 2d echo cardiography report and I will guide you exactly about the kind of sports you can pursue.
