It`s important to know that every cricketer has his time," Kapil Dev told a TV channel.Having served India for 22-23 years, there surely is no bigger cricketer than him. But he should have announced his result to retire from the shorter format soon behind the World Cup," he said.
Tendulkar, who is stressed for form in the ongoing ODI tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka, is still awaiting his 100th international century -- close to a year after he scored the 99th.Kapil felt players who cannot decide on their own concerning their future should be told about it no indecisive terms by the selection panel.
