The controversy of Wriddhiman Saha, who was the wicket-keeper batsman of the Indian team, is in the headlines. After Team India toured South Africa, he accused the team management and said that he was asked to retire. Indian coach Rahul Dravid has also spoken on this.
For a long time, Rishabh Pant has remained the first choice wicketkeeper of Team India. On the last South African tour, the team management kept Pant as the first choice by not playing him in all three Test matches.
Saha recently said after not being included in the announced Test squad against Sri Lanka that 'the team management told me that I will not be selected in the future, so I should think about retirement.
Saha said, "When I scored an unbeaten 61 runs against New Zealand in Kanpur by taking pain killer medicine, Dada (Sourav Ganguly) praised me a lot. I was surprised by the change of conditions so quickly. Am."
After not being a part of Team India's plan, he decided not to play in the Ranji Trophy match. He has publicly disclosed all this.
After this, the statement of Team India coach Rahul Dravid has also come out in this whole matter, in which he said, "I am not hurt by Saha's words. I respect Saha and his achievements and contribution to Indian cricket. The conversation I had with him was very clear. I didn't want him to hear this through the media."
As a coach, Dravid believes that Rishabh Pant has established himself well in the team. So now there is a need to prepare a young wicketkeeper with him.
Change in thinking of BCCI
We remember that when there was talk of the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the media due to the decline in their performance, it was often said from the BCCI that both these players are capable of making their own decisions. When he feels that the time has come to retire, he will take sannyas.
During this, there was also a demand that the team management and the BCCI selectors should talk about their plans.
Those who keep an eye on the cricket world know that Rahul Dravid believes in talking straight just like he was a player with a straight bat.
This is the reason why he has started the process of talking to the players who were not selected in the playing XI in the matches after taking over the responsibility of the coach of Team India. Due to this, the players who are not selected in the playing XI are saved from getting disappointed.
Clarity needed about retirement among cricketers
If we look at the history of Indian cricket, it is clear that our cricketers have been victims of a lack of clear plans for retirement.
Be it Kapil Dev, who won the country's first ICC World Cup, or Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar or Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of India's most successful captains, all of them have faced pressure to retire.
Talking about Kapil Dev, he is considered to be the player who gave a new direction to Indian cricket. But in the last years of his career, he became a victim of criticism due to his declining performance. During this, it was believed that he should retire.
But he continued to play for the record of taking the most wickets in Test cricket. But due to less success, the record kept running away from him. Eventually, he retired after making a record of 434 Test wickets.
Sachin's career also stretched beyond expectations
The main dream of the world's most successful cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has been to win the ICC World Cup. When India won the World Cup in 2011 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, cricket fans thought that he would say goodbye to cricket.
But he continued to play amidst all the criticism and announced his retirement after playing the 200th Test at the Wankhede Stadium on 16 November 2013, almost two years after winning the World Cup.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni had taken his retirement from Test cricket unexpectedly. But in the shorter format, he did not announce his retirement even after not being included in the team.
We all know that Dhoni has been a great finisher of the team. It was said about him that whenever he tries to hit a six, the ball goes out of the field.
But in the last years due to lack of reflexes, he was also caught out several times in attempts to hit sixes. But he also announced his retirement very late.
Even after the delay, he had to retire suddenly. Even after being India's most successful captain, he also could not get the farewell.
The reason for the delay in retirement is commercial
Money is the biggest reason for the uncertainty regarding retirement among Indian cricketers.
Where is the most money in world cricket, it is in India. This money comes from outside advertising more than the game of cricket. Cricketers advertise for all brands.
Usually, they get these advertisements only because of their image in cricket. This image depends on their performance. It is believed that when the cricketer retires, these advertisements start falling out of his hands.
For this reason, many times players do not announce retirement to remain in the advertising world even after being out of the team and there is no hope of returning to the team.
There was such a discussion on the delay in retiring some veteran cricketers.
But sometimes it happens that the cricketer truly understands that he still has the potential to make a comeback in the team. But the team management is ignoring him for some other reason.
After Sehwag's exit from the Indian team, for a long time, even cricket fans felt that he still had the potential to play in the team.
what is the lesson
In Australia, we have seen most of the cricketers retire according to a plan. This is the reason why most of the retired cricketers are seen playing farewell matches.
Many cricketers have already announced that they will retire after such a series. With this, the cricketers serving the country are seen saying goodbye with respect.
It is often seen in India that usually until the cricketer is not ignored by showing him the way out, he does not announce his retirement.
Something similar seems to happen about Wriddhiman Saha too. He shouldn't have bothered to understand that he might not have been useful to the team management once Rishabh Pant was confirmed.
