Anil Kumble announces retirement
India captain Anil Kumble announced his retirement from the Test cricket after the third Test against Australia in New Delhi.
The 38-year-old is Test cricket’s third-highest Test wicket taker with 619 wickets, trailing only Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan and Australia’s retired Shane Warne.
“It was a very tough decision, especially when you have performed for 18 years and been so competitive,” he said at the presentation ceremony after the match had ended in a draw. “But the body helped me make the decision. This injury also helped.”
