There is a fear of transformation. Like, I would have to sit at an office 9 to 5 or I have to do coaching. These are big steps to be taken. I too think about it because it will be a new field for me. Once you complete these 20-25 years of playing cricket, I will have to enter a new field. Those who play so long do have a fear of taking that leap.

I too have fear (about quitting) but if I feel that I am becoming a burden (to my team), I will pack my bags. I don’t want to get that sense, that feeling from my teammates,” he concluded.
