Adelaide, Jan 28 (ANI): Indian cricket team's media manager GS Walia has said at Adelaide Oval that no senior player within the squad will be retiring in the wake of the 4-0 whitewash against Australia in the just-completed Test series.
This followed earlier reports that Rahul Dravid, Test cricket's second highest run scorer, had told team-mates he was set to retire.
The 39-year-old is Test cricket's second most prolific scorer, but made only 194 runs at 24.25 in the four Tests against Australia.
It was neither a personal rebuttal from Dravid nor the statement named him in person as the Indian media manager read it out.
"Team takes note of the stories in the media, suggesting the imminent retirement of a member of the Indian team. We would like to clarify the situation by stating categorically that these are not correct and are baseless.
"This is the statement I have read and there are no further questions on it," said Walia.
The denial came after it was reported in media that Dravid has played his last Test for India. (ANI)
