A friend of mine, close to one of the BCCI bigwigs family tells me this: There is an interesting solution being worked out by the crafty politicians in the BCCI. This is in wake of the increasing criticism by the TV media and politicians. Tendulkar and Dravid would immediately retire from International cricket. A statement would blame both Members of Parliament and the Media for cutting short their careers. They would go on to say that their cricketing achivements have been far greater than what politicians have achieved in administration in 50 years. (The term used would be "politicians" to escape a privilege motion). There would be attacks on specific news channels including Aaj Tak. The key idea is to do this immediately after the ODI series. Tendulkar would say - he would not play the world cup, come what may.
Once that realisation comes, that these two won't play the WC, the ire will be turned against politicians and the media - forcing them to shut up.
