Criticism

Sachin playing for the wrong reasons, says Ian

Ian Chappell, who recently received a lot of criticism for saying that Sachin should retire, has come out with another of his views. He feels that great batsmen like Brian Lara, Shane Warne and Glen McGrath announced retirement at the right time and at the right stage – they were not struggling for form and retired with pride – they retired even though they had a lot of cricket left in them.

Unlike them, Sachin has been struggling to find form is still fighting for his place in the team. Ian said that great batsmen or great bowlers should not be seen struggling towards the autumn of their career.

He said that Sachin is playing for the wrong reasons and it is now Sachin’s call to decide upon his future.
