Henry Shefflin feels he is being placed under undue pressure to retire from intercounty hurling.

"I think there's a lot of pressure coming on for me that, you know, 'you have to retire'," the ten-times All-Ireland winner told the media after Ballyhale's Leinster club championship final victory. "I'll make my own decision when the time is right. I will reflect. That [pressure] doesn't come into it whatsoever.

"I'm my own person. I'll make the decision when the time comes. I'll talk to a few key people that I trust and that I want to speak to. Obviously, I'm not going to make a decision until I'm finished with my club.

"I don't think it's fair to the lads in the dressing room if there's all this hullabaloo going on. For me and for the lads, I think the best thing I can do is just keep concentrating."
