NEW DELHI: South African star pacer Dale Steyn rejected expectations for his retirement as he thought feasible to play four to five years more to be active in the cricket field.
Steyn while being interviewed with Times of India (TOI) clarified that he was not quitting, still have at least five more years of cricket passion left in him.
“Well, 15 years ago, you could say that a pacer has reached the twilight of his career at 32. But, now, when you have so much emphasis on fitness, I think you should let go of that old mindset,” Steyn said.
“I think I am still one of the fittest players in the South African side, fitter than guys who are 21-22. I will play until I can’t play anymore. I don’t think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing.”
He said, “I am getting to the back end of my career. I think I have five years of cricket left. I have started not to take things too seriously, loving life is my motto.”
