3rd Test: Brett Lee 'shocked' By Ashwin’s International Retirement
Gavaskar Trophy Test: Australia’s fast-bowling great Brett Lee said he was shocked by India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin announcing his retirement from international cricket after the drawn Test at Brisbane, adding that he will go down as one of the greats of the game.
Shortly after third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Brisbane ended in a draw at the Gabba on Wednesday, Ashwin announced in the post-match press conference about his decision to retire from international cricket with immediate effect.
His last international game was the day-night Test in Adelaide, where he took 1-53 in 18 overs. "This guy is one of the greats of the game. The last time a spinner retired mid way through a series was Graeme Swann, I think."
