I will not retire: Sourav Ganguly

Former captain Sourav Ganguly insisted that he was in no mood to hang up his boots as far as Test and Twenty20 cricket are concerned even though he is out of the ODI side and the selectors didn’t pick him in the Rest of India squad.

“I would like to think I have a couple of years left. But I won’t say I’ll miss touring. I’ll miss the cricket, the satisfaction you get from scoring a century or from winning a Test,” the left-hander said.

“At the present moment I’m playing Test cricket and Twenty20 in the Indian Premier League. I miss the One-Day game but the older players understand we won’t be playing in the 2011 World Cup. So now it is time for the young players to get match experience.”

“For me it is about team, cricket is a team sport a hundred in a defeat is not as good as a 70 in a victory.”

“You want to finish with reputation, not with people questioning your ability,” he added.
