CLOSE-IN: Retirement Is Now Just A Perfunctory Word In Cricket (IANS Column)

By IANS News January 12, 2024 • 12:56 PM View: 636

Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party:

The word “Retirement” has truly become a perfunctory word in present day cricket. Recently, we had 3 prominent cricketers, David Warner, Heinrich Klassen and Dean Elgar announcing it. It is not cricket that they are saying adieu to but their farewell to Test cricket.

Warner and Elgar have shown that they still have plenty of fuel to carry on, however, the lack of Test matches vis-a vis the effort that they have to put in to do so, does not make it exciting for them to continue.
