It certainly is. It must take alot to retire from a sport which makes you a success and which you love playing. I think it must be a difficult decision to decide to quite while you're ahead and allow the next generation to come through, but it's definetly the right decision.

That's a broad statement to make. I don't think age is as much a factor as talent. If you look at Alec Stewart, he was performing at the highest level until he retired, so was Thorpe. What I find strange is the decision to use older playerswho don't quite make the grade. For instance, The World Cup is every four years. Pl;ayers should not be coming into the side during the tournament. Right now, all the sides should be looking at their squads and removing the players from the sides who will not make it to the next world cup in four years time. That way, the players that are brouht in will have four years of experience by the time the next tournament arrives. Unlike the England team, who made changes in the one-day series before the world cup (Mal Loye, Paul Nixon, etc) and then left out mal loye for the world cup.

Young Players!!!!!.Let me tell u fella.The average age of the Indian team that went to world cup was 26 years.Only Bangladesh team had average age less than that.
Australia had only 3 players below 30(Michael Clarke,Shane Watson ans Shaun Tait).Yet they won the cup.
It's not about having young players but quality players.That can be done only by better administration and improvement in quality of Domestic Cricket

As per previous answer - play your best 11 players regardless of age. Think a mixture of youth and experience often is best - take the aussies - their youngsters often wait years for a crack at Test cricket. When they finally get their chance they tend to take it with both hands - unlike getting there too young and thinking they have reached the top and no longer need to try as hard.

I defenitely agree with you. The elder players should retire gracefully and give way for the talented youngsters in the team.

If you''re good enough you're good enough, age should be irrelevant , why drop someone who is performing because they are old and replace them with someone who is not as good but is younger? Makes no sense, too win you simply play youre best side.
