In his Facebook post, he said: \u201cSilver Strikers is my home but when your life is at stake, consider your family first. My contract ends on 30th March 2023 with the company and I have asked the board not to renew it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile I have decided to take leave till the end of my contract.

I have taken my leave until the end of my contract,\u201d he said. But the media friendly administrator, said he was not done with football.
