Playing cricket is not like a government job, says Sehwag

Opener Virender Sehwag on Wednesday dismissed calls for his retirement, saying playing professional cricket is not a ‘government job where you have to retire at 60’. “I will continue to play as long as I am enjoying the game, contributing to the team, winning games for my country. Nobody can force a player to retire,” he said on the sidelines of promotional event during which the Delhi Daredevils website was launched. “It’s not like a job, government job where you have to retire at 60. A cricketer can retire at 30 or 60, it’s upto the player. (Sanath) Jayasuriya played till 42,” he added. Sehwag said he is fit again, after being ‘rested’ for the Asia Cup. “The rest period is over and I am set to train, and play in the IPL,” Sehwag said
