Wisden puts Raina in rare company

Suresh Raina may have lost his place in the Indian team due to indifferent form but he figures among the 10 players, who will "define" cricket in the next decade.
The latest issue of the Wisden Cricketer clubs Raina with Australians batsman Michael Clarke, paceman Shaun Tait, all-rounder Shane Watson, England batsman Kevin Pietersen, Pakistan's fast medium seamer Mohammad Asif, Sri Lanka's fast bowler Lasith Malinga, West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor and Bangladesh vice captain Mohammad Ashraful as the players who will define cricket's next decade.
some well-known British cricket writer stated in his article that Raina had the talent to be a left-handed Sachin Tendulkar with even more intuitive flair.

I think BCCI must bring mandatory retirement or else the oldies will hang around and will reduce the matchpractise of youngsters. BCCI must think of giving oldies pension as well..So it will bring little interest for them to retire early...Now Dravid i hope ur listening...!!!!!
