The captain also chose to pay little attention to the fact that Laxman could not reach him to tell about his immediate retirement plans ahead of the series.
"You think it's a controversy, but people who know me always complained that I am a person who is very elusive. It was one of the reasons why Laxmanbhai could not get hold me," MSD told reporters ahead of the first cricket Test against New Zealand starting tomorrow.
"That's not something new.'ve Tried to improve, but I think they have not improved really." he said.
Laxman trained hard at the NCA for about four months and also played in two home games, taking into account the new season ahead, suddenly announced his retirement last week, fueling speculation that all was not well in the Indian camp.
According to unconfirmed reports, Laxman was given an ultimatum of two games to one of the selectors.

VVS retiring abruptly is indicative that all is not well in Team India and BCCI. It was apparent that the greats have to hang their boots one day and definitely BCCI could have timed out a farewell for gentleman like Laxman.
