Sachin has studied very well the BCCI politics, back biting and the vagaries of the fans over the years. He is a very matured cricketer to fall prey to the whims and fancies of the selectors- be it a Mumbai selector or anyone. May be he wants to concentrate on his batting rather than get bogged down by the controversies. A good decision.

You are right. It is a mature decision. Sachin has seen how a senior and gentleman cricketer like Dravid is being treated shabbily by the selectors. He is far too experienced to fall prey to the politics played by the selectors.It is better if he concentrates on his game more than caught in the board politics. By refusing captaincy, he also has avoided unnecessary speculations on Dravid's resignation.
