I have told youngsters at various clubs and academies: ‘Look, don’t fall for this trap. It (Indian Premier League) is a trap to make you go astray.’

Players like Rahul Dravid, Adam Gilchrist have finished with the game. Michael Clarke does not want to play T20 cricket for Australia; Sachin Tendulkar doesn’t want to play T20s for India. This is just an outing for them to have some fun and in the process, make a quick buck. Youngsters should not take it as a role model activity, but unfortunately, they will.
