Tendulkar said that he can't imagine alive without cricket, adding he has lived his dream for the last 24 years.
Sachin Tendulkar has announced his decision to retire from international cricket after he plays his record 200th Test against West Indies in November.
Tendulkar, who had retired from ODIs in December 2012, has been in patchy form over the last two seasons and the issue of his retirement has caused plenty of debates.
India is to play a two-Test series against the West Indies next month which would enable Tendulkar, who has already made 198 appearances, to become the first player to reach the 200 landmark. The two Tests against West Indies will be played between November 6-10 and 14-18 at yet to be named venues.
