London: Former England test skipper Michael Vaughan has suggested Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar to call it a day and retire from the International cricket after fourth and final test against England in Nagpur.
Vaughan believes it is time for Sachin Tendulkar, following his poor form, to hang up his boots from International cricket and leave the slot for a youngster to replace him for the sake of Indian team.
“England’s performances in the last two Tests have been as good as anything I have seen from it, either as a player or a fan, and should leave Sachin Tendulkar heading into retirement after the Nagpur Test,” Vaughan wrote in his column published in Telegraph on Sunday.
“It is time for Tendulkar, great player that he is, to walk away now for the sake of the Indian team,” he added.
“I am hoping that Sachin will also accept he has to make his own call. There is no one strong enough in Indian cricket to go and knock on his door and say time is up.”
Vaughan, who won Ashes for England after long years, said,” Sometimes senior players stick around for too long and the team gets stuck in a rut. When you want so desperately to finish with a hundred in your last few games, it actually becomes harder and harder. You can want something too much.”
“I am sure he is still a magnificent role model in the dressing room and is respected by everyone, but it is horrible to see these greats go on too long and playing badly at the end,” he wrote.
“Eventually even Sachin has to move on. It will take a while to get used to life without Sachin but it might bring new energy into the set-up,” he concluded.
