Should Fans Be More Empathetic Towards Players’ Decisions to Retire Early?
Chopra painted a bluntt but emptyic picture of the cricketer’s reality, comparing a player’s career to a perishaable item. “Like a biscuit packet, every player has a ‘best before’ tag. If you do not maximise your career in that window, when it ends, you’re left with nothing but family and fading memory. “He argued that the choice to become t20 freelancers is not one of green but survival. “If someone like klasen or pooran can earn in four years what they would’ve made in ten for their country, who are we to judge?
Chopra Acknowledged that Indian Fans, Used to their Stars Earning Big Under A Wealthy BCCI Umbrella, May Not Relate to the Struggles of Players from Poorer CRICKETING NATIONS. “People don’t understand that players in some counters have to drive taxis or work as plumbers after retirement.”He also took aim at cricket boards, Blaming some of them for Lacking Empathy or Financial Muscle. “Boards like west indies have been embroiled in ego clashes. IF you’re not accouncy, a player is bound to leave.”Ultimately, Chopra Urged Fans to View These Early Retirements Not as Betrayals of National Duty, But as Personal Decisions Grounded in a Harsh Sporting Reality.
