Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said the decision of retirement from Test cricket should be left to Sachin Tendulkar himself. Asked if Tendulkar should retire after the South Africa tour,Ganguly said,"It's his decision. He has done a lot for world cricket and let him decide the time as he deserves it. On Tendulkar becoming a Rajya Sabha member,the Kolkatan said: "I asked Sachin what is he doing in Rajya Sabha?

"I have seen him closely when he was at his best,I have got terrific admiration for him. For whatever he does,he does it well and he makes his family and his country proud. He also hoped Tendulkar gets the Bharat Ratna. "He is India's Bharat Ratna!" he told 'ndtv.com'. Ganguly did not rule out the possibility of currently out-of-favoured players like Virender Sehwag,Yuvraj Singh,Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh making a comeback to the Indian team.

Sehwag is 32-33,you can't write them off. Will they make a comeback,only time will tell because it depends on how they play and how many runs they get."

"I don't want to be in politics,I want to be involved in the game as it gives me a lot of happiness and will find out more opportunities and make the most of it." Talking about controversial pacer S Sreesanth,who was jailed on charges of spot-fixing in this year's IPL,Ganguly said it will be a complete waste of talent if the allegations against him are proved. "He has done well as a Test bowler but had been a bit inconsistent which was something to do with his temperament. But if things (allegations of spot-fixing in IPL) are proved,then it is a complete waste of talent," Ganguly said.
