The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering a send off to the senior quartet of Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan. They might join the younger lot of Indian players as they tour Bangladesh to play a Test and three ODIs.
If it materializes, it will be a fitting farewell for the players who lost their places in the national side in the transition period.
"What they have done for Team India in the past decade will be hard to match. But as is the case with every sport, time does catch up with you. So we are thinking about giving them an opportunity to go to Bangladesh and sign off on a high. Some people may term it an emotional decision, but so what? But yes, the idea needs the approval of national selectors," a BCCI insider was quoted as saying by India Today.
Additionally, it is also reported that the selectors need to take a final call on whether to pick them for the entire tour.
"That would depend on the selectors. It could very well be that some of the players are picked just for the Test match while the others are picked for the ODI series," he clarified.
The one-off Test match is scheduled for June 10 and the first of three ODI matches is to be played on 18th.
