"I just want to see him," Ganguly said referring to the Argentine footballer.

Having returned to his home town after playing his last Test at Nagpur, Ganguly said that he would, however, miss the company of his teammates.

At his Behala residence Ganguly told reporters: "We share a good camaraderie among ourselves. We make fun and crack jokes together. I don't think I will miss cricket but will miss the companions."

Reiterating that he will not change his retirement decision, Ganguly said: "In sports, you have to retire one day. It's about physical ability. Once you start playing, you have to call it quits some day. It's like when you are born you have to die ... All great players like Maradona, Pele, Sampras and Gavaskar retired..." Ganguly picked his Lord's debut Test, his first captaincy and the recent series win as his Big Three moments.

About his future plans, Ganguly ruled out commentary as an option.

"There are a lot of opportunities coming in. But, at present, there is no such plan to do commentary ... It needs lot of travelling." Ganguly added that he is yet to decide on his future plans.

"You have to wait and see ... I have not thought about it yet. IPL is in April there's a long way to go ... But I will definitely do something that will contribute to the game."
