“Sachin Tendulkar will leave India immediately after voting on Thursday,” a source close to the cricketer said. “We cannot reveal the destination but he will be on a holiday with his family for few days.” If he is not rejoining the Mumbai Indians, Tendulkar is likely to go to England, where he owns a home. He is also scheduled to lead the MCC team versus the Rest of the World on July 5.
