More thought needed on switch-hitting: Sachin

The Marylebone Cricket Club MCC, custodians of the game8217;s laws, quickly convened to discuss the tactic and announced that the innovation conformed to the existing rules.

However, Tendulkar, a batsmen who has always combined a classic technique with wristy innovation, feels the approach needs more thought.

8220;I think they will have to look at it far more closely than has been done; it changes the laws,8221; he told Reuters on Sunday.

8220;It8217;s about LBW decisions, how are you going to decide which is off stump and which is leg?

8220;My opinion is that when a right-handed batsman takes his guard it doesn8217;t matter which shot he plays, he8217;s a right hander and the field can be set accordingly.

8220;The moment a right-handed batsman becomes a left hander and changes his grip, changes his stance, then if you8217;ve got three slips you have three leg slips 8212; and it8217;s a no ball.
