Symonds delays decision on future

SYDNEY: All-rounder Andrew Symonds was still considering his playing future when he arrived home on Saturday after being kicked off the Australia team at the Twenty20 World Cup in England.

Symonds did not answer questions from reporters about his future when he touched down at Brisbane Airport, but confirmed he would make an announcement in the next few days.

"I''ve got a fair bit to consider and I will come out and make a proper full statement when I''ve gathered my thoughts and sat down with friends," he said.

Symonds is contracted to Cricket Australia until the end of this month and was recently offered a new 12-month deal for next season.
