Prime masters league

The recent endorsement and announcement by Sachin Tendulkar to play in the International Masters League made one wonder whether a cricketer will ever retire from the game. The likes of Brian Lara, Kumar Sangakkara, Jacques Kallis, Shane Watson, Eoin Morgan and several other well-known cricketers, also being a part of it makes it even more interesting. Their cricket brand has become so powerful that the cricketing diaspora does not want to forget them.

The saying, which one never took seriously earlier, “Once a cricketer, always a cricketer,” is finally showing signs of coming true. The limited overs version and especially the T20 has made this possible.
