First Laxman was sacked by Hyderabad T20 team, then Rahul Dravid was sent on Holiday and now Ganguly is not the captain of Kolkata team. Sachin is only senior player holding flag for senior players for IPL (although he would never play T20 for India).
But looking at above events, it looks like senior players are sidelined in the 'commercial' version of the game. Actually senior players were not anybody's choice from day 1 of IPL when auction began. Some were perhaps just lucky to get icon status and get into team.
So now what's future for these players in IPL? I guess they should better ignore IPL and concentrate on national (?) service of the game, and let the IPL for young generations and aspirant players who never get chance to showcase their talents.
