Veteran Indian pacer Ashish Nehra yesterday decided to call time on his injury-ravaged career after next month's opening T20 against New Zealand at his home ground of Delhi, saying "it's always good to retire when people are asking why rather than why not". "I have spoken to the team management as well as the chairman of selection committee that the game against New Zealand has come in Delhi. So it can't get bigger than retiring in front of your home fans where I played my first Ranji Trophy game 20 years ago," said Nehra.
