SRT and the retirement question!

Sport can be so cruel. The man who devoted his entire life to the game is now having to play for survival. Imagine that! He who conquered all the challenges in his pomp is now having to kow-tow to mere mortals who are asking him to prolong his career for the sake of a few extra dollars earned in his name. Haven't they earned enough off his hard work, blood sweat and tears? Admittedly he himself has benefitted from their largesse but I'd like to believe that he has more than paid that back by the bagful in a way only he could have. To see a man who made batting look easy for so many years fail to negotiate middling bowlers and looking ill at ease while doing that is heartbreaking. How much longer are we to suffer this tragedy and how much longer are the handlers going to humiliate a proud man thus? Please don't give them that satisfaction nor allow a bunch of misguided selectors an instant claim to perpetual notoriety by allowing them to drop you from the team and just announce your retirement. Please!
