Shane Watson hints at T20 international retirement after World T20


Australian all-rounder Shane Watson will consider on his international cricket future at the end of the ICC World T20 being held in India.

The 34-year-old admitted that he was "pleasantly surprised" when he was selected for T20I side to take on India in January after he was overlooked for the five-match ODI series. 

"There's no doubt I'll have a bit of time to think about it (international retirement) after the T20 World Cup. I'll reassess from there," he told cricket.com.au on Wednesday. 


But for now, the world No. 1 all-rounder in Twenty 20 International has a bright opportunity ahead by winning the World T20 trophy that has eluded Australia. 

"There's no doubt to win the T20 World Cup, we came very close in 2010 making the final, so that certainly would be an incredible thing to be a part of," he added. 

"At this point in time I'm still just living the dream with the cricket that I'm able to play and the teams I'm able to play in. 

I'm not sure where that's going to take me in the short term. At the moment I'm loving the opportunity of being back in the Australian squad and hopefully we can win the T20 World Cup."
