Tendulkar's No. 10 Jersey Retired, Unofficially, By BCCI After Players Refuse To Wear It

Tendulkar retired in 2013 and since then, the No.10 jersey has only been seen once on an Indian player when Shardul Thakur wore it earlier this year on his ODI debut during the tour of Sri Lanka.

The No.10 jersey that Sachin Tendulkar made his own may not be seen on an Indian player in the near future with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) claiming that cricketers are not ready to take that number out of respect for the legendary batsman, this despite the absence of any plan to formally retire it. Tendulkar retired in 2013 and since then, the No.10 jersey has only been worn by Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur on his ODI debut during the tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year.

The 26-year-old was trolled on social media for his choice and later went on to issue a clarification, stating that he picked the number for numerological reasons.

"It's a very individual choice. If players don't want to wear a certain number, one can't force them. ICC might just tell you that a team can't officially retire a jersey but it would never tell you that it's mandatory to wear that number," a BCCI official told PTI.

"The BCCI has not taken any such call (retiring the No.10 jersey). It's a very informal thing among players. Also you don't want young players to be abused like it happened with Shardul Thakur," he added referring to the trolling Thakur was subjected to for wearing the number.

There is no precedence of a jersey number being retired in honour of a player in international cricket. Tendulkar's IPL team, the Mumbai Indians, had, however, retired the No.10 shirt in his honour.

Iconic jersey numbers have always had a strong emotive appeal in international football but even FIFA has never allowed any particular number being retired in honour of a player.

However, clubs have done so, the most famous instance being Italian team Napoli retiring Maradona's No.10 jersey to honour his legendary stint with the side.

Sachin Tendulkar Test Debut: This Day, That Year

Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut against Pakistan at Karachi on November 15, 1989.

Sachin Tendulkar became known to the international cricketing fraternity on this day, November 15, in 1989, when a short, curly-haired boy from India made his Test debut against Pakistan in Karachi. Tendulkar went on to rule the game for the next 22 years earning a demigod status in the process. There was palpable excitement whenever he came in to bat and equal sorrow when he got out. The little boy was rechristened and fondly called 'Master Blaster'. He ended up amassing a whopping 15921 runs in record 200 Test matches at an impressive batting average of 53.79. He broke records at will and is the only man in history to get to 100 international centuries.

In his career spanning two decades, he has achieved everything including the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup which India lifted on their home turf.

Going back to his debut Test against the then-mighty Pakistan boasting the likes of Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, Tendulkar came to bat at number 6 with India reeling at 41/4 in reply to Pakistan's first innings score of 409.

Another debutant, Pakistan's Waqar Younis, sent Tendulkar back to the pavilion for 15 runs. His 32-run partnership with Mohammad Azharuddin stalled India's fall of wickets.

India were all-out for 262 in the first innings with pacers Wasim and Waqar taking four wickets each. Pakistan declared at 305/5 in their second inning.

Sanjay Manjrekar's knock of 113 coupled with Navjot Singh Sidhu's gritty 85 helped India save the Test and salvage a draw.

Tendulkar called time on his glorious career when he announced his retirement on November 16, 2013, after playing his 200th Test match, against the West Indies in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.

Ravindra Jadeja: I Have Learnt a Big Lesson After Getting Dropped

Ravindra Jadeja has been recalled into the Indian Test team after a gap of one year. The bowling allrounder said that he has worked hard to strengthen his skills.

Ravindra Jadeja is back in the Indian Test squad on account of his strong performances for Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy. In two matches, he picked up 24 wickets and scored 149 runs at an average of 74.5 at number five. His exploits have provided India with more options when it comes to strengthening the lower-middle order.

Jadeja has had troubled year so far, with injuries and lack of form resulting in his exit from the Indian team for the Twenty20 and ODI series against South Africa. After suffering a shoulder injury just before the 2015 World Cup, Jadeja's returns with both bat and ball dipped and he failed to provide India the stability in the middle overs. Following his exclusion from the India squad, Jadeja has been honing his skills and said he has learnt a big lesson.(Why Jadeja Deserved a Test Recall)

"Nobody wants to be away from the team. All the negative talk that has surrounded my exclusion is a concerning thing. I consider myself lucky that the domestic season started as soon as I was dropped and this stint has helped me gain some confidence," Jadeja said in an interview.

Jadeja had said the break away from the team had given him the mental space to be fresh for challenges ahead. Before the start of the Ranji season, Jadeja was totally cut off from cricket.

"After I played my last ODI in Bangladesh I stayed away from cricket. I didn't go anywhere near a ground or bat or ball or did anything related to cricket. I had decided to switch my mind off cricket and so got involved in other activities. I spent time at my farm house with my horses and spent time with my friends," Jadeja said.

During his period of poor form, Jadeja was criticised for being too flat and too predictable. However, he insisted that he stuck to his natural game. "I haven't changed much of anything. I believe that if I strengthen my natural game, develop my skills further, it would help me. I think, the way I have been playing for so many years, I have to sharpen that a bit more," Jadeja said.

The Saurashtra allrounder is hopeful that the performances in the two Ranji matches have given him the clarity to revive an unflattering Test career so far. He is desperate to get rid of past mistakes and wants to make an impression in what could potentially be his first home Test after 18 months.

"I should have a simple plan. Whatever shot I want to play I should be able to do it single-mindedly. When I make a decision and bat I have to commit a hundred percent and play the shot. So I was working out small things like these around my thinking," Jadeja added.

Mohammad Hafeez Cleared to Bowl in Domestic Competitions.

Mohammad Hafeez, who was handed a 12-month ban by the International Cricket Council in July, will bowl for the Lahore Whites in Pakistan's Twenty20 competition. A bowler suspended in international cricket can bowl in domestic cricket with the permission of his home Board.

Lahore: Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez can now bowl in domestic competitions despite being banned from bowling at the international level for an illegal action.

Hafeez was handed a 12-month ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in July but will bowl for the Lahore Whites in the country's Twenty20 competition.

Despite the international ban, it is legal for Hafeez to bowl in domestic cricket with permission, which has been granted.

"A bowler suspended in international cricket can bowl in domestic cricket with the permission of his home Board," an ICC official was quoted as saying by on Tuesday.

"The logic behind this provision is to allow the home board and the player concerned the opportunity to monitor improvement in his bowling action in a match situation, and when happy, apply for reassessment."

Hafeez was first reported for a suspect bowling action in November last year after Pakistan's first Test against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi.

He was suspended from bowling in December after tests at the Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England, but was then given a green signal in April after re-testing at Chennai's Sri Ramachandra University.

However, he was again reported after Pakistan's Test against Sri Lanka in Galle in June and returned to the Chennai facility, where testing revealed his elbow extension was beyond the 15-degee limit, which led to the 12-month ban.

Hafeez can not apply for another reassessment of his action before his 12-month ban is served, but can continue to bowl in domestic competitions with permission.

The Pakistan Cricket Board's permission means the 34-year-old, who is still No.2 in the ICC's official ranking of T20 allrounders, will also be eligible to play in the Pakistan Super League next February in Doha.
