Minutes of the secret meeting dated 29th March 2007, between BCCI & Greg Chappel on Sachin Tendulkar
It was decided that
1 - Age, he is not aging gracefully and his age must be considered from the time he started playing international cricket in 1989. Just too many games played. He should retire now or in 2008 (latest).
2 - Injury, starting from 1999-2000 season onwards sachin has always had some injury scare every 8 to 12 months. He should not play too many games & must be rested for 50% of the games.
3 - Inability to perform in high pressure games in the last 5 years or more. If he plays less cricket, then he will play better cricket.
4 - Batting Position - He can no longer command the best batting positions, as he is no longer the best , he should bat at No. 7 in ODIs & No. 5 in Tests
5 - Other abilities - As he will now bat low down the order , he should try to do some bowling & maybe 10 overs in every game, as he cannot get into the team on batting alone.
