‘Stop talking about retirement’

Bangalore: India skipper Anil Kumble asked a section of the media to shed its obsession with the probable retirement of him and other senior players in the future.

“Let’s stop talking about this for now. Let the players decide when they need to go,” Kumble said at a press conference, here on Wednesday.

Earlier, in response to repeated insensitive queries on whether he is contemplating retirement, Kumble, with a sliver of anger slipping past his inscrutable demeanour, said: “Boss, I will let you know when my last series is. I am someone who will take a call on that.

“I am not someone who would like to announce it before. I would like to take things as they come. I don’t like to say yes or no. I will announce when the time is there.”

“It certainly would be my last Test in Bangalore because I don’t know when the next match is. I don’t want to look that far ahead.”
