I entirely agree with Kumble's assessment that some of these young cricketers have come up too easily and fast and are not able to handle the wealth and fame that they get from the game. It needs a maturity and some psychological assistance. Tendulkar and Kumble himself are two good examples who have taken their fame and wealth correctly. I am afraid even some other senior cricketers need counselling as they do not accept being dropped in the interest of future players being inducted into the international arena. NO INDIAN cricketer has retired from the game gracefully unless he is dropped!! Perhaps Venkatesh Prasad and Srinath are good examples of cricketers who took up other roles in the game. The IPL matches have shown some young blood who can be coached and brought into the game for the future, though I think the money element has taken the gentleman's spirit out of th game.
