Nathan Lyon insists he has no plans to retire despite handing over Australia team song duties

The 37-year-old Lyon has been in charge of Australia's team song in the dressing room for the last 12 years, taking over the role from Mike Hussey in 2013.

The spinner relinquishing song duties could be a sign that his international career is in the final stages but the veteran says he still wants to win a Test series in England and India.

"I've been very honoured to first lead the song, but to have it for 12, 13 years, it's been one of the biggest highlights of my career," Lyon said.

"I've been thinking about it for a while now, but this definitely doesn't mean I'm retiring anytime soon. There's no talk about me retiring or even thoughts coming in my head.

"I've always said I want to win away in India, and I want to win away in England. Obviously, we've got that opportunity in a couple of years' time, but we've also got to take it Test by Test and make sure we're doing everything here and getting the games here in West Indies right.

"Then we've got a massive summer at home with the Ashes. But also, another World Test Championship final will be on my cards."

Lyon currently has 556 Test wickets in 138 matches and could surpass 600 wickets and maybe challenge Australia great Shane Warne's tally of 708 scalps.

"Warney's a long way away," Lyon said. "And in my eyes, he's the greatest to ever play the game. I'm just lucky to be part of a pretty special cricket team at the moment.

"We're on our way to becoming a great cricket team, we not there (yet) as I always say. But to be part of this bowling attack and play my role is special. That's the reason why I keep playing."
