Tendulkar urges MNCs to start employing sportsman

TIL Desk Sports/ Stressing on the importance of job security in sports, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar today urged big companies and MNCs to start employing sportsman.

“I think one change which has taken place in Mumbai Cricket, is not for good, which I am not so pleased about, is the job recruitments. Let me take this opportunity to express myself little more.

“I think, earlier there were less contracted players, players had security of a job which is missing in today’s world. I think that brought out the best in players as far as financial security was concerned.

“They need not have to worry of all those things and be focused on the game. And that had a solid result, a positive result as far as Mumbai Cricket was concerned. Players were able to deliver, yes I am not by any means saying that players today are not giving their best or not performing well, but that job security somewhere down the line is missing,” the 43-year-old player said.
