I have four-five months to make a decision. There is no hurry to decide what to do. Every year, 50% more efforts have to be made to keep the body fit.
He said, if cricketers start retiring on the basis of performance, very few of them will retire at the age of 22. It is important to see how much hunger and fitness you have and how much you can contribute to the team, do the team need you. I have a lot of time. I will go back to Ranchi, I have not gone home for a long time. I will enjoy some bike ride and then take a decision after a few months. I am not saying that my work is complete and at the same time I am not even doing that I will come back. I have time.
