Adelaide: Sachin Tendulkar does not believe that his career is nearing its end and hinted that he could well return for another tour Down Under.
Tendulkar said he would continue to play cricket till he's enjoying the game and at the moment has not thought about quitting the game.
"I don't want to say too much about this being the end because I don't know whether it's going to be my last Test in Australia," he said adding, "We will see."
"I don't want to think about whether I have two, three or even four years left. To be honest, I have not thought about it. Basically, I just want to go out and enjoy the game."
In his 407 ODIs, Tendulkar has scored 15,962 runs. The Little Master will have an added motivation to cross 16,000 runs in the One-Day series against Australia and Sri Lanka that follows the ongoing Test series.
While other senior players including Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly have been left out from the One-Day squad, Tendulkar retained his place.
But Tendulkar, 34, looks unfazed by the omission of seniors and is more focussed on his own game. He seemed satisfied with the way he is playing at the moment and said he has always relished playing in Australia.
However, he was hopeful that India would come out good in the last Test at Adelaide.
"Australia is a fantastic place to play cricket," Tendulkar said. "I have always enjoyed playing here as people understand the sport. It is competitive and a great challenge. I love it."
But he added that no team could be complacent against Australia, as they will come hard after being beaten at Perth.
"We know that Ricky Ponting's team will come hard at us. They have always done that in the past. We don't want to take anything for granted," he said.
