The cricketer Duleepsinhji says statements attributed to him that he is retiring from international cricket in consequence of the discrimination of the cricket authorities because he is an Indian are unauthorised and exaggerated. He is simply returning to his home owing to his brother’s illness, having learned that there are more serious things in life than cricket.
