More than the motivation his technique against the fast bowlers was not very convincing even in domestic circuit he was not a prolific run getter and a very very slow boring batsmen.He also wasted oppurtunities he got in australia in 2000,and we have much much better batsmen than him right now even in our INdia A team.So there is no possibility even in his wild dreams that he could be selected for the India A team,so its nothing surprise to hear from saying that there is no motivation to play anymore.Remember even great batsmen like saurav and laxman are not getting chance to play for indian team so Devang gandhi quitting the first class cricket will not shatter the indian cricket followers
