Sneak peek at Sachin Tendulkar's exclusive interview to CNN IBN.
Tendulkar tells sports editor Gaurav Kalra that he has no thoughts of retirement from cricket. In fact, he is spending time with family in Europe at the moment.  

CNN-IBN: I want to ask you, you decided not to play in the one-day series in Sri lanka. What are the reasons for that, Sachin?
SACHIN: I just wanted to spend time with my family. Its as simple as that. So I spoke to [the] BCCI and requested them to leave me out. To prepare myself for Sri Lanka, I shouldn't be here; I should be back home, preparing myself. So to be able to spend enough time with my children is also important for me because once we go back, then their schools start and it is not the same quality time which any family man expects. That is something which will keep me going for the next 10 months.
