The Story in Brief
Ajinkya Rahane has signed for the Amsterdam Flames as a marquee player for the inaugural European T20 Premier League (ETPL), a week after announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket on July 30. The tournament will run from August 26 to September 20, across Dublin, Ireland, and The Hague, Netherlands.
The Indian Opinion
Some fans and pundits are calling this a 'retirement U-turn', but that misses the point. Rahane retired from Indian cricket, not from playing overseas. The ETPL, founded by Steve Waugh, offers seasoned pros a chance to extend their careers in a low-pressure league. The real test for Rahane is not this T20 stint but whether he can repeat his 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar heroics in commentary or coaching roles. Will he follow Waugh's path into mentoring? That answer will come in the next year.
