Actually, it was without any context. I never noticed if Mahi had retired from any format of cricket yet. I didn't see him in any squad for a while but he was performing in IPL. The same thing applies to Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, and Sehwag too. Was they out of form when they were kicked out of the squad? Or does BCCI just want to try younger players?
These things do not get noticed because India has a big line of talented players which is the reason people do not miss experienced campaigners like Mahi! But, Bangladeshi fans still miss Tamim Iqbal.
MSD been a mentor to the team India for 2022 T20 squad but it's their decision and everyone have their own way of living after their cricket career ends, and it's not in the hand of cricket boards to choose that but from a fan's perspective it will be like that.
I just want to say something, not all great coaches were great players means it's two different task and one get to conquer over other.
