there was a statement that went something like. i have no more goals to achieve. you move on when you have no desire to achieve anything. even though indian cricket team does not represent india factually. the so called indian cricket team is still not comparable to an IPL team where some individual makes the decision on your position in the team and he is actually paying for your existence in the team. if our selectors were paying his salaries from his own pocket, i bet they would not be very keen on keeping him in the team. that is a pretty absurd statement to make. he is not helping the team win games. if he is there as a moral boosting senior, he can do it in a non-playing role. from what i see, this is what is happening. he wants to play. he is not really doing much to help india win matches. selectors cannot boot him out for non performance. he seems to disagree with anyone talks about his retirement. sometimes, you need to look at the realities of life. if you are not winning matches, you should move on. he is being selfish in still playing in the team because he is not prepared to retire. he rarely bowls these days. one fifty here and there does not really justify his position in the team. any decent youngster who is missing out on a place in the team would be able to achieve that. and he would last for many more years.
