http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 and Zaheer Khan should reconsider their ODI career says, Wasim Akram – Cricket News Update
Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379, reconsider their career in the limited over game. The legendary pacer is of the view that both players should quit ODI’s
and concentrate on Tests.
Both Sachin and Zaheer are currently part of the Indian roster that is on tour to Australia, where they are participating in the Commonwealth Bank Series. Asia Cup is next on the cards for the Men in Blue - the squad for which has been announced - Sachin
has been retained while Zaheer has been given a rest.
Wasim opines that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 should try his level best to get the ton of ton – which he has been in pursuit of for more than a year - during that tournament and then announce his retirement afterwards. He said, “There is pressure and stress on Sachin to get
that milestone. If he can score this hundred in Asia Cup and get the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Holly-Louise-Colvin-c63292 off his back, then he must look to quit ODIs and concentrate only on Tests. He should then play Test cricket in a relaxed manner.”
Since, Sachin won’t make it to 2015 World Cup therefore his retirement will give the Indians a chance to build the team for crickets main event claims Akram.
He said, “This will also give chance to younger players to build the team ahead of the 2015 World Cup.”
Zaheer has been going for some runs in the CB series. The pacer hasn’t been amongst the wickets either in the tournament. Keeping his performance in view, Wasim holds that the 33-year-old Zaheer should only play Test matches, as his body cannot bear the
burden of ODI.
“I think it is time for him to consider his future in the shorter format. He did exceptionally well in the four Tests against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 but his body is not supporting him in ODIs. For Zaheer, he must choose his format now,” advised Wasim.
Sachin and Zaheer have not been featuring for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 on regular basis. The two cricketers have been picking matches in which to play and which to leave. According to Wasim, a player should look to play all matches if he is selected for the series.
