Jharkhand Stalwart Saurabh Tiwary Announces Retirement From Professional Cricket
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Jharkhand player Saurabh Tiwary on Monday announced his retirement from professional cricket at the age of 34. His final match for Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy on February 15 would mark the end of an illustrious career that spanned over seventeen years.
Tiwary, who started playing cricket at the age of 11, rose through the ranks, making his mark in the 2006-07 Ranji Trophy season. He was a member of the India squad that won the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008.
Two years later, his performances for Mumbai Indians in the IPL - 18 sixes, the most for the team - and Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy - three centuries - helped him earn an India call-up for the Asia Cup in June 2010. He had to wait till October for his ODI debut, though, which came in the home series against Australia. In two of his three ODIs, he went unbeaten and scored 49 runs.
