[Proud Indian]

[size=4][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sachin Tendulkar admits he has been considering his retirement date lately and acknowledges the end of his extraordinary cricket career is not far away.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Indian great has suggested he may not play beyond the home Test series against England later this year.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]'I'm 39 and I don't I have plenty of cricket left in me,' Tendulkar told Times Now news channel.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But it depends on my frame of mind and my physical ability to deliver. When I feel that I am not delivering what is needed, then I will relook at the scheme of things. I'm 39 and no one expects me to go on and on.'[/font][/color][/size]

[color=#393939][font=Georgia][b] Sachin Tendulkar delaying retirement for fear of losing big endorsements?[/b][/font][/color][list]

[color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: Just 63 runs from three innings against an ordinary [url="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/Kiwi"]Kiwi[/url] side and just 29 runs in 3 innings in the on going England series has not only Sachin Tendulkar's army of fans worried but also managers of the 17-odd brands he endorses. After all, such wretched form has brought the R word back onto centre stage, yet again.[/size][/font][/color]A senior official at [url="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/Toshiba"]Toshiba[/url] - one of the brands Sachin backs - says, "Sachin's retirement should be a major concern for all brands. It's a major concern for us as well." If Sachin does decide to retire, the negotiations of the fee and terms and conditions when the contract comes up for renewal will be very different, he adds on the condition of anonymity.

[color=#393939][font=Georgia][color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]Canon, which had signed up Sachin in 2007, is not renewing its contract with the cricketer, which expires this December. Says Alok Bhardwaj, senior vice-president, Canon India: "As we needed to align our brand with a lifestyle positioning, we signed up actress Anushka Sharma... There was a need to move on and connect with a younger audience." He adds that Canon is now working with Sachin only for B2B assignments, but insists the decision not to renew Sachin's contract has nothing to do with retirement. "He is a legend and these things would not matter at all."

Still, it's the prospect of either such outright terminations or downward revisions that is leading to dark whispers and allusions that Sachin is hanging onto his place in the side to avoid losing out monetarily.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]After all, although most contracts do not include retirement clauses, they do have performance clauses. "(The clauses) state that if you are not selected or not playing for six months, there would be a correction in the fee," points out Indranil Das Blah, COO, Kwan [url="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/Entertainment"]Entertainment[/url] & Marketing Solutions, a [url="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/sports"]sports[/url] and talent management firm.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]Blah does, however, add that 50-70 per cent of the endorsement fee is usually paid up front, which limits the downside for Sachin.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]Also, "a lot of brands that Sachin endorses have only signed him for an annual contract, or at best two years", says Blah.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]He reckons that if Sachin retires, he won't have as many as 17 brands backing him, but "the three or four that do will be (deals) at a very big premium."[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#404040][font=Arial][size=3]World Sports Group, the agency that manages Sachin, vehemently dismisses insinuations of financial benefit. "I would like to go on record and say there are no such commercial considerations that impact his playing decisions.[/size][/font][/color][/font][/color]
