Australia's premier all-rounder Shane Watson said that he will decide on his international future after the ongoing ICC World T20 held in India. Watson retired from Test cricket last year after Australia handed the Ashes urn back to England. "There's no doubt I'll have a bit of time to think about it (international retirement) after the T20 World Cup. I'll reassess from there," the 34-year old said. Watson admitted he was 'pleasantly surprised' when he got the call-up for Australia's T20 side to take on India in January after he was overlooked for the preceding one-day international series. With a record-breaking 124 not out in the final match at the SCG, Watson booked his ticket to the subcontinent as part of the 15-man World T20 squad.
