Samuel Eto'o has rejected the chance to make a comeback for the Cameroon national football side, saying the team environment is still plagued by "amateurism and bad management".
The 31-year-old forward was recalled last week for the African Nations Cup final round first leg against Cape Verde Islands next week, eight months after he was suspended for having led a player strike over unpaid bonuses.
The row caused Cameroon to cancel a friendly in Algeria.
Eto'o says he's decided not to participate in any game with the national team as the flaws he kept denouncing as a captain have not been solved.
Eto'o now plays for wealthy Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala.
The two-legged match between Cameroon and Cape Verde Islands will decide a place at the 2013 finals in South Africa.
