Steven Croft: Lancashire all-rounder announces retirement from cricket
Lancashire all-rounder Steven Croft has retired from professional cricket and will join the club’s coaching staff on a full-time basis.

Croft made his Lancashire debut in 2005 and went on to make 600 appearances across all formats of the game, captaining them to the T20 Blast title in 2015 as well as winning the County Championship in 2011 plus three second division titles.
“I can confidently say I have realised my dream and more, and what a ride it has been,” Croft told the Lancashire website, external.
