Mohammad Amir has announced his retirement from Test cricket. The 27-year-old left-arm quick, however, has said he will continue playing white-ball cricket for Pakistan.
Amir brings his Test career to a close with 119 wickets at an average of 30.47. His Test career was split into two parts. He made his debut as a 17-year-old in July 2009 and played 14 Tests, picking up 51 wickets at 29.09, before being banned for five years for his role in the Lord's spot-fixing scandal. After his return in July 2016, he played 22 Tests, taking 68 wickets at 31.51. The retirement has come at a time of excellent returns across formats for Amir. Since the start of 2018, he has taken 24 wickets in six Tests at an average of 21.00, and in the recently concluded World Cup he was Pakistan's leading wicket-taker with 17 at 21.05.

It's been a long time coming, but damn what a legend. The greatest fast bowler of his generation and a sight to see.

He was able to extend his Test career a little. Looked like a goner when he had that serious injury. I doubt they will pick him for ODI. Obviously he's not going to play another major ODI tournament. Maybe just the T20 WC and franchise cricket.

It was expected for sometime and as Bada says I don't expect him to be considered for ODI's either with SA to go through a revamping process. Great bowler in his own right, maybe overstayed a bit with his recurring injuries.

Too many memories to mention! We started together many years back and I had the privilege and front row seats of watching @DaleSteyn62 turn into the best bowler of his time. You are the greatest, an even better… 08-06-2019, 05:51 AM

Brendon McCullum announced his retirement from all forms of cricket and confirmed he will no longer be part of the Global T20 League and the Euro T20 Slam. The former New Zealand captain, who retired from international cricket in 2016, will call it quits after Toronto Nationals' final league game against Montreal Tigers. "It is with great pride and satisfaction that I am today announcing my retirement from all cricket," he said on Monday (August 5). "I now won't be playing in the Euro T20 Slam and I thank the organisers for their support and understanding. "As much as I am proud of what I've achieved in my 20-year professional career - more than ever I could have dreamt of when I first entered the game - I have felt the drive to keep going harder to maintain in recent months. My style of cricket has been full of noise, full throttle. From Culling Park to Lord's and everything in between, there have been some wonderful memories. Unfortunately, the sacrifices needed and commitment required to play that kind of cricket have now become too great. I owe it to myself and the teams I represent to close that chapter rather than just plough on regardless of what I know to be true." In February this year, McCullum had called time on his Big Bash career and stressed he's looking forward to transitioning into a coaching role. "The next chapter, both in media and coaching, will challenge me further," McCullum said. "I am sad to leave playing the game I love behind, but I am excited about what the future holds. It's been one hell of a ride but I've always maintained that all good things must come to an end." McCullum, at the point of this being written, featured in 370 T20 matches - scoring 9922 runs at a strike rate of 136.49. He played 101 Tests, 260 ODIs and 71 T20Is and was instrumental in turning New Zealand into a world-beating side. |
