Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has retired from international cricket halfway through his side’s tour of Australia.
“This will be my last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at an international level,” Ashwin told a press conference.
Captain Rohit Sharma said he was aware Ashwin was considering retirement before the series, but convinced him to play in Adelaide last week.
“I do feel there’s a bit of punch left in me as a cricketer but I would like to showcase that in club level cricket.
The off spinner, who took 537 wickets in 106 Tests, announced his immediate retirement after the third Test in Brisbane ended in a rain-affected draw.
