Graceful Exit.............!!!

Senior players like Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid should now gracefully announce their retirement. No one doubts the iconic status that they have carved for themselves over the years, but it would be a sad day should they fall from grace in public perception because they insist in prolonging their careers, that too at the cost of denying youngsters. They should follow the examples of Brian Lara, Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath, who understood the importance of a graceful exit.
