Fast Bowler Ambrose Denies Retirement Talk

The Nation

January 20 1998

WEST INDIES fast bowler Curtly Ambrose last night brushed aside a late CANA report which said he was about to retire from international cricket and would miss the upcoming Test and One-Day series against England unless regional officials got him to change his mind.

ÒIf I have anything to say about retirement or anything... I will deal with the West Indies Board straight up,Ó he told the DAILY NATION.

Ambrose was speaking from his room at Caribbee Hotel where the Leewards were staying for the PresidentÕs Cup match against Barbados. The story said Ambrose had already written his retirement letter and requested that his decision be communicated to the West Indies selectors.
