No plans to quit, says Tendulkar

Published November 8, 2008

NAGPUR, Nov 7: Two of his celebrated peers — Anil Kumble and Saurav Ganguly — have decided to walk into sunset after glorious careers but Sachin Tendulkar says his body is “doing fine” and has no plans to retire in immediate future.

“My body is doing fine and at the moment I am not thinking of any plans to retire,” Tendulkar said on Friday. “Normally, I prefer to think of the present, not of what I am going to do in the next four, five or six years of my life.

“If I think it is time to hang up I will let everybody know. There is nothing to hide in it. I know it will make news but that I don’t think it is a negative news that I have to hide from everyone,” he added. Tendulkar, however, was non-committal when asked if he was thinking of playing in the 2011 World Cup in the Sub-continent. —Agencies
