(Who are the new selectors?)&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The pacer replied: &quot;Apologies to Virat and a billion people for thinking they not (sic).&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, announcing his retirement from the longest format of the game, Steyn had said that he finds &#39;Test Cricket&#39; to be the &quot;best version of the game&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Today, I walk away from a format of the game I love so much. In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game,&quot; Steyn had said.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
