MUMBAI, JUNE 22: Sachin Tendulkar, who returned home early today from London, expressed his as well as the other Indian players8217; disappointment over their show in the World Cup.

8220;I am not supposed to talk to the press as I am bound by the Board of Control for Cricket in India8217;s BCCI contract. All I can say is the Indian players are as disappointed as our countrymen. We tried our best,8221; he said.

Tendulkar said his back feels fine now and he did not face any problem on that front during the World Cup.

Tendulkar, who underwent treatment for his back spasms prior to the Cup from a London specialist, had a disappointing tournament during the course of which he also suffered a personal tragedy when he lost his father who died on the eve of India8217;s second match against Zimbabwe on May 19.

He came home for his father8217;s funeral and then returned to England in time for the team8217;s third encounter against Kenya where he made an unbeaten 140.
