Mark Waugh says he'll leave it to selectors to decide when his cricket career is over, but has described himself as semi-bored with the sport.
Waugh, 37, who along with twin brother Steve has been dropped from the one-day squad, admits he's only a slim chance of making next year's World Cup. But he says he'll keep playing until he's no longer wanted in the Test side.
Waugh said he had no plans for his retirement but could not see himself coaching. "I don't want to be a coach," he said. "I'm getting semi-bored with cricket. I couldn't watch a full day's play at a Test. Eight hours at the game? Couldn't do it. I might play golf. Rugby league, I love my rugby league. I'll watch a lot of that, I guess."
South Africa’s convenor of selectors Omar Henry has rung the alarm bells over provincial cricket, which he rates as being "far from healthy."
South Africa A have comprehensively lost their home series against Australia A and the convenor is displeased with the standards of their performance.
"They are underlining the fact that much hard work is awaiting us and that cricket in South Africa is far from healthy," said Henry.
"The message that those playing in that series are sending to the guys here in the saddle is that there are not really anyone in the 'A' side who is in contention for the elite squad. That creates a problem.
Nasser Hussain has urged the England and Wales Cricket Board to delay no further in giving coach Duncan Fletcher a new long-term contract.
The England captain, in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, said that virtually all of England's improvement in the last few years had been due to the Fletcher factor.
Hussain said: "A lot of the success, if not all the success of the England team, can be placed at one man's door and that's Duncan Fletcher.
