England batsman Alastair Cook has announced that he would retire from international cricket after the end of the ongoing home series against India.
The 33-year-old Essex left-hander is England’s all-time leading Test run scorer with 12,254 runs at 44.88 including 32 hundreds, while his run of 158 consecutive Test appearances is a world record.
He said after much thought and deliberation over the last few months I have decided to announce my retirement from international cricket at the end of this Test series against India.
He said although it is a sad day, I can do so with a big smile on my face knowing I have given everything and there is nothing left in the tank.
