Sachin Tendulkar does not need any advise on his future: Rajiv Shukla

Sachin Tendulkar's streak of low scores might have raised a question mark over his future but senior BCCI official and IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla on Monday came out in support of the senior batsman saying one needs to look at his "colossal record" before making any comment.

"He will hang up his boots when he thinks it's time for him to go. He does not need any advise on this. Before making a comment on his performance you have to see his colossal record and his past performance," Shukla told reporters outside the Parliament adding that the veteran cricketer will come back strongly in the forthcoming matches.

"He will do well in forthcoming matches," Shukla said.

Tendulkar has been battling poor form for sometime and his last 10 innings have yielded just 153 runs at an average of 15.3, the lowest by an Indian top-order batsman in the corresponding period.

The 39-year-old's last three figure score in Tests came in January last year against South Africa.

Asked about India's loss to England in the second Test at Mumbai today, Shukla said: "It is sad. After the victory in Ahmedabad the batting line-up could not perform the way it should have. It was a turning wicket and English spinners performed better."

Shukla, though, said the board will look into the matter and would take necessary corrective measures.

"We will discuss the shortcomings and so will the team management to see how the performance can be improved," he said.

On the selection of the team for the next two Tests against England, Shukla said it remains the prerogative of the Selection Committee and nobody should interfere in their domain.

"Selectors are also former players and they will take a call on this. Whom to select and whom not to, it is their domain," he added.

Steven Finn ruled out of second test due to injury

Fast bowler Steven Finn has been ruled out of the second Test after failing to recover from a thigh strain that he picked up during England's opening practice game in Mumbai. 

England will also be without the services of Ian Bell for the Mumbai Test as he has returned home to be with his wife who has given birth to their first child. 

Finn was not selected for the opening Test at Ahmedabad too as he had not recovered from his injury. Skipper Alastair Cook at that time had stated that he will not risk Finn until he is 100% fit. 

Coach Andy Flower also ruled out any possibility of Finn being selected for the second Test. 


"Steven has been working hard to get back to full fitness. He has unfortunately hurt his leg again a couple of days ago, and is having another scan. We don't think he's got any structural damage, but it would be careless to suggest that he might play the second Test," Flower said. 

"What we might do is send him off to the performance programme that arrived in India earlier this morning [Tuesday]," added Flower. 

"They've got a three-day game starting on the 27 November. If he's ready for that, which is the last day of the second Test, we'll put him through his paces in that. If he comes through that well, he'll be available for the third and fourth Tests." 

Tim Bresnan had played in place of Finn in the first Test that India won in a comfortable fashion. Cook, following the loss, had said that England have to look into the team selection. "We have to look at our selection. We thought we did the right thing (by leaving Monty Panesar out). Results show we might have got it wrong." Cook had said. 

With Finn ruled out and Cook hinting at changes, Panesar in all likelihood will play in the Mumbai Test and might come in in place of either Tim Bresnan or Samit Patel. England also have the option of going in with Stuart Meaker, who was called in as cover for Finn. 

England will also be brooding over different possible replacements for Bell. While Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow are a couple of options available to them, they might also think of retaining Patel.
