Greg didn't advise Mike to retire
Australian selector Greg Chappell on Monday denied advising batsman Mike Hussey to retire from international cricket after he was withdrawn from the World Cup squad because of injury.
Australia's best ranked one-day batsman said he was shocked and disappointed to miss the World Cup after selectors decided he was unfit following recent hamstring surgery.
Hussey, 35, had insisted he would be fit for Australia's second World Cup match against New Zealand in Nagpur on Friday, but the selectors were not swayed by his assurances.
Chappell, who met with Hussey in Perth earlier this month, said he had not told the left-hander to consider retirement.
