Tendulkar not ruling out touring Down Under again

Agencies

Adelaide, January 24:: The buzz is that Sachin Tendulkar may be on his last tour of Australia but the master batsman is not ruling out returning to play Test cricket Down Under in future.

The 34-year-old Tendulkar scored an unbeaten 124, his 80th international century, on the first day of the fourth and final cricket Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval.

"I don't want to say too much about this being the end because I don't know whether it's going to be my last Test in Australia. We will see," he was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.

If Tendulkar wishes to return to Australia, it would be possible only in 2011 as per the International Cricket Council's Future Tours Programme and he will be 38 then.

Captain Anil Kumble, who is already 38 years old, however, does not aspire to come back to play in Australia.

"I thought about this (being his last Test here) when I played in 2004 in Sydney. I think this time for sure it will be my last one in Australia. It'll be nice to go back with a victory," he said.

Sachin retiring
by Sunil Mehta on 2008-01-25 04:30:38.382387+05:30
Sachin should not retire before he 40.(THERE AREPLAYERS WHO HAVE PLAYED TEST CRICKET EVEN AT 44)Sachin should hit 50 centuries, 75 fifties and cross 15000 test runs. He has it in him to do so.Pray for lot of feathers in his cap - Sachin the superman in sports - to have his name etched and embossed in THE GOLDEN CHAPTER OF SPORTS AND SPORTSMEN

Tendulkar will be back in AUS in 2011

Well, Kumble is now 38 and Gavaskar played till a similar age. Sachin is going strong now at 34 and he could very well tour Australia again in 2011. May God give him the strength to do that.
