Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has announced his retirement
from Test cricket after his 200th Test match which is due against West Indies
in November. The venue of the match is yet to be announced.
Tendulkar contacted BCCI chief N. Srinivasan and requested
the BCCI to release the following statement to the media, on his behalf.
The statement read: "All my life, I have had a dream of
playing cricket for India. I have been living this dream every day for the last
24 years. It's hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because
it's all I have ever done since I was 11 years old. It's been a huge honour to
have represented my country and played all over the world. I look forward to
playing my 200th Test Match on home soil, as I call it a day. I thank the BCCI
for everything over the years and for permitting me to move on when my heart
feels it's time! I thank my family for their patience and understanding. Most
of all, I thank my fans and well-wishers who through their prayers and wishes
have given me the strength to go out and perform at my best."
