Why there should not be compulsory retirement in International cricket?

I feel a retirement age (may be 35) can be fixed for players.
Most of the international players above 35 is not fully fit and could not give their 100% for their team. They should make way for youngsters.

Yeah, and maybe in life when you get a bit old we can take you out the back and shoot you. I think all players give 100% to their team - they are just not always in form!

No! You can’t put a player out to pasture if he’s still performing well.

If they are better than younger players then only would they be selected so why retire them.

If you can still play cricket well, then you should keep playing. Look at Jayasuriya. He’s close to 40, yet he still plays at a high level.

I strongly disagree.Seniors are an asset to the team, they are very experienced and strong mentally.Besides,a player can play as long as he is performing well and passes the fitness test.Look at players like Sachin, Sourav(recently retired), Dravid, Laxman, Lara, Warne, Muralitharan, Inzamam, Jayasuriya and Alec Stewart. Some of these players have retired but they played till an age of 35 or more.And each and every one of these players are LEGENDS.And youngsters are finding their way in world cricket.The fight for the youngster spots must be between youngsters only.
