The Slovenian left back of Bjerringbro-Silkeborg Sebastian Skube retires as national player.

After 127 caps and 267 goals on the national team of Slovenia the 29-year-old Slovenian left back Sebastian Skube retires at his own request. The player of the Danish champions Bjerringbro-Silkeborg had never thought, that he would refuse to play in the national team:

"Never in my live I had thought, that I would refuse to play on the Slovenian national team," he told he Slovenian website Siol.net.

The fact that Sebastian Skube has twice been deselected for a championship, has made the outcome:

"For now I will no longer respond to the call up for the national team. At least this year. Twice I got deselected - for the European Championships in Poland and the Olympic Games in Rio. For me this is a clear enough sign. I do not need to train with the national team, if I dont go to the championships. For me and Slovenian handball it is better to find younger players to fill the hole," he stated in the interview with Siol.net.
