Kapil refuses to play in fund-raiser

New Delhi, February 19: "I don't want to wear whites again. I have retired from the game. It is goodbye," the former India captain told PTI here on Monday. The man with 434 Test scalps, a record till overtaken by Courtney Walsh of the West Indies, said the effort of the Cricket Boards of the two countries was laudable but "I have nothing to do with the game anymore".
