You can't regulate such a thing with age ...SP,<br /><br />You can't regulate such a thing with age limits. Ultimately its an individual choice and Kapil was clearly not ready to give it all up and walk away. That was very much part of who he was.<br /><br />Gavaskar on the other hand was so self obsessed that he was not willing to tarnish his legacy by sticking around. He retired when there was some cricket still left in him<br /><br />Then there are the Amarnaths and Gangulys who are forced out. Rightly or wrongly.<br /><br />I think Kapil was a once in a lifetime cricketer and not many have clout like him to carry on as long as he wishes. <br /><br />Even Ganguly was forced to retire and the franchises gave the message loud and clearGolandaazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593900110552569215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-22269481862115750782011-01-16T18:34:47.322+05:302011-01-16T18:34:47.322+05:30yes i agree ankit... specially when who will retir...yes i agree ankit... specially when who will retire and when is getting more interesting than the game itself... ;)straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-91468780411833165442011-01-16T17:55:50.468+05:302011-01-16T17:55:50.468+05:30abeyaar khel ka romanch khatam ho jayega :Pabeyaar khel ka romanch khatam ho jayega :PAnkithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672469958281457928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-81582339285845294842011-01-16T17:27:37.167+05:302011-01-16T17:27:37.167+05:30Mouseman...

Also like retirement age, it will need to be updated with passage of generations. Also it may have to vary by format..Golandaazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593900110552569215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-3931310650833182722011-01-16T14:29:50.904+05:302011-01-16T14:29:50.904+05:30no sb... its not only coz of ganguly... look aroun...no sb... its not only coz of ganguly... look around and you will find many gangulys in waiting... <br /><br />he has only brought this issue a prominence like only he can... :)<br /><br />and why limit it to ipl only... even in bigger stage if one system can rule out more exceptions than the existing ones why not...?<br /><br />tho must say that much like the upper age cap suggested by me i liked your idea of minimum age too... specially for highest level induction... test cricket that is...straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-62862414559535196822011-01-16T14:25:00.308+05:302011-01-16T14:25:00.308+05:30Beware my friend lest they call you 'sarkari&#...Beware my friend lest they call you 'sarkari' for introducing a retirement age. And you must be aware that in non-sarkari world, 'sarkari' is the worst gaali going around.<br /><br />I'd be more intrested in chaps making sure that a minimum age is followed and a minimum qualifying seasons are put in.<br /><br />Just because of one Ganguly, we cannot and need not introduce an upper cap system to complicate matters.<br /><br />I would rather all good hearted people emphasize and focus attention on lower age limit...players should have at least so many seasons under his belt before IPL eligibility and must be of such and such age . Those are general employment rules all over the world in all fields. Only in India we have child labour on a large scale. That way we can protect potential Ishants and the like.Soulberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830619858224129215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-6736630978031950402011-01-16T14:24:09.915+05:302011-01-16T14:24:09.915+05:30gol... rules are not made for exceptions... once t...gol... rules are not made for exceptions... once the age is fixed then there is no such thing as 'forced' in my view...<br /><br />for every sachin playing in its prime in closing stages of career we have many 'champions' overstaying their welcome... so we have to see the pros and cons on that... which system will be more towards the minimum 'exceptions' than the one...straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-4440546984599935382011-01-16T14:13:55.386+05:302011-01-16T14:13:55.386+05:30I guess that would be illegal won't it?

If boards start mandating that players should retire earlier than that..<br /><br />But again BCCI follows no government laws and got away with banning ICL players.<br /><br />If you leave the legal issue aside, the debate would be how to determine the age limit and how to manage exceptions. Someone could be fit at even 40 and performing well so how do we ensure he is not forced to retireGolandaazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593900110552569215noreply@blogger.com
