This is the last tour for

[R!TTER]

Take your best guess, last Oz tour for & last test tour for these players 

[jf1gp_1]

Definitely last for Saha, he is 36 dont see him returning 2-3 yrs from now. 

[Norman]

Saha

Umesh

Ashwin

Hahane

Vihari

 

[TheWall]

Pls add nalayak Shaw....

[Gollum]

Last Aus tour for many of these guys, since most of them are above 32. At least 4 years wait...

 

Definitely over for:

Saha

Umesh

Ashwin

Pujara

Ishant even though he isn't with squad, won't play again down under, 32 now and injuries are frequent

Rohit

Rahane

 

Difficult for Shami, Jaddu, Kohli since they'll be 35-36, depends on their fitness and motivation to play test cricket at that age. Jaddu, Kohli are supremely fit, so might play at that age. Shami I am considering his official age of 30, who knows he may 32-33 now and decline may be steep in a couple of years time. 

 

Last test tour....can't say, since we know our legendary selection panel and TM.

Top batsmen play till 38 or more, unless they are too dependant on hand-eye coordination, like Sehwag or Ganguly. 

 

I expect Kohli to be doing well for 6 more years and Pujara for 4 or 5 more

Workload is an issue for someone like Kohli, and he sure likes white ball formats. Pujara sure but he will have a steep decline if he hangs on, even in his peak years he was so susceptible to incoming deliveries, at 38 Dravid was bowled 7/8 times in Aus against 130-135 stuff, hope Pujara is more sensible.

I expect Kohli to do well for 6 more years, despite heavy workload. Because he is supremely fit and practices much more than even young batsmen trying to make a mark.
