Tendulkar to retire after his 200th Test

Batting great Sachin Tendulkar Thursday decided to quit from all forms of international cricket after his 200th Test against the West Indies in November.

"All my life, I have had a dream of playing cricket for India. I have been living this dream every day for the last 24 years. It’s hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it’s all I have ever done since I was 11 years old," Tendulkar said in a statement.

"It’s been a huge honour to have represented my country and played all over the world. I look forward to playing my 200th Test Match on home soil, as I call it a day," he added.
