An Indian cricket team official has told a media conference at Adelaide Oval that no senior player within the squad will be retiring in the wake of the 4-0 whitewash against Australia in the just-completed Test series.

This follows reports earlier on Saturday that veteran Rahul Dravid had told team-mates he was set to retire.

The 39-year-old is Test cricket’s second leading runscorer, but made only 194 runs at 24.25 in the four Tests.
