KOLKATA: While not ruling out a comeback to the political crease, India all-rounder-turned-minister-turned coach Lakshmi Ratan Shukla said he decided to return to the cricketing greens as he had much more to offer to the gentleman's game, the first love of his life.
The 42-year-old ex-minister of state for youth services and sports said quitting politics was "quite tough”, but the decision was prompted by realisation that he still had a lot to give back to the game.
