Tell Your Problem to Coach McCullum:-

I had a candid talk with Brandon McCallum. I don’t want to stay in a hotel for a month and play matches. McCallum called me and we had a really good conversation.

I told him that I will no longer play Test cricket. He understands that Test cricket requires a lot of emphasis. Now I am 35 years old and that is why this decision had to be taken.

I want to enjoy my cricket and it will not be right if I come back to Test cricket and I can’t give my 100 percent.
