The way I am playing, I think can I continue till December 2002. There is no question of retirement as yet. Why should I when I am still the best. These boys are very good skills-wise. But they have to work very hard if they want to make a mark at the international level.
Nobody gets Indian colours easily.
If you have got it, prove time and again you deserved it in the first place. The boys have to realise that they are recognised because they are hockey players. It did take sometime for me to realise the significance of this. I am only telling the youngsters not to make the mistakes I made at their age. That is to think you are bigger than the game.
