Bangalore: Speedster Javagal Srinath on Tuesday expressed his inability to reconsider his decision to retire from Test cricket, saying he would not be able to justice to his job.

Reacting to skipper Saurav Ganguly's appeal asking him to change his decision and return to Test cricket, Srinath said he felt embarrassed to turn down such requests. "I cannot be denying him (Ganguly) again and again. I know it's an embarrassment. I also know it's a nation's call," Srinath said. "But my mind and body should do justice to the cause," he said, ruling out his comeback. "Since they have been performing well, there is no need for me to reconsider my stand," he said. Srinath, however, reiterated that he would be available for One-dayers. He said he wanted to be in perfect shape and right frame of mind for the next year's World Cup and was focussing his energies towards this goal. "I have some cricket left in me. I want to play objective cricket and channelise it properly," said the bowler, who has claimed 276 wickets in Limited Overs Internationals.
