NEW DELHI, Sept 6: Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar dismissed media reports on Thursday that he was set to retire from one-day cricket.

The Indian Express reported on its front page, quoting unnamed sources, that one-day cricket’s leading batsman had discussed quitting the format with friends in order to extend his test career.

“I am batting brilliantly at the moment. Even the thought of retirement has not crossed my mind,” Tendulkar told the Press Trust of India (PTI) in London.

Tendulkar was even contemplating making the move at Lord’s on Saturday when the tour ends with the decisive final match, the report said.

“I am still enjoying the game very much and want to play for as long as I can. Cricket means a lot to me,” Tendulkar added.—Reuters
