India’s off-spinning great Ravichandran Ashwin announced his immediate retirement from international cricket following the third Test against Australia in Brisbane on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old took 537 wickets in his 106 Tests at an average of 24.00, leaving him seventh on the all-time list and second only to Anil Kumble (619) for his country.
He also played 116 one-day and 65 Twenty20 internationals.
“This will be my last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at an international level,” Ashwin said at the post-match press conference alongside skipper Rohit Sharma after the match was drawn.
“I feel there’s a little bit of punch left in me as a cricketer, but I’d like to express that, showcase that, in club-level cricket.”
He was not selected for Brisbane with his final Test coming in Adelaide last week where he took 1-53.
