Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar on Thursday refused suggestions in the media and another former captain Kapil Dev views that Sachin Tendulkar should quit one-day cricket, saying that the master batsman needed no advice on this issue.
"There is no need to advise a legend to hang his boots when he himself, I am sure, will do so when the time is right for him to do so," said by Vengsarkar, former chief selector, in a statement.
"In my opinion, he should have quit ODI on a high after India won the World Cup....But it`s for him to decide," Kapil said.
"I really wonder whether India has a player of Sachin`s class in its midst at the moment. Our bench strength is not at all that solid whereby we can hope to fill the void left by some great players in time to come," said by him.
"Sachin may be nearing 39 years, but I strongly feel that he is as fit and as charged up, if not more, than any of the players playing for India at present. His focus, dedication, and commitment to the team is unparallelled to say the least.”
"Sachin`s sheer presence can mould the future generation of Indian cricketers....the Mumbai team of yesteryears was strong because we had Test players playing club and inter-office cricket regularly in Mumbai. This helped upcoming, young cricketers immensely," he added.
