As the pressure of retirement mounts on Tendulkar, Akram feels that Indian cricket is in a “delicate situation”.

“The question is who will bell the cat? Who will pop the question? Today, former cricketers are openly asking for Dhoni’s head. Can you do the same with Tendulkar? A lot of people, like Sourav Ganguly, feel he should retire, but Sachin himself might still want to continue for another six months or so. It’s difficult to give any advice to a legend like Sachin,” Akram was quoted as saying by ESPNStar.com
