“It was not an
easy decision. I didn’t think my international career would come to a sudden
end, but that is life. Sometimes it’s better to remove yourself from an
environment that doesn’t suit you mentally and physically and this is what I
have done. I also felt it was important that people hear directly from me to
avoid a funny twist to the story. I wish to thank the coaches who gave me a
chance, fellow players and in particular big thanks to all my fans for their
unconditional support.”
