Symonds not to apologise

Published November 12, 2008

MELBOURNE, Nov 11: Andrew Symonds has dismissed suggestions that he owed an apology to his Australia teammates for his ‘go-fishing’ act that led to his suspension from the game but revealed that he underwent a confidential process after which he is fully committed to the sport.

“I don’t really look at life like that,” he said when asked if he owed an apology to his teammates when he returns to the side. “I made a mistake, I admitted that. I have done a number of things to not allow things like that to happen again, so no I am not going in there to give anything back to them.”—Agencies
