Wales Cricket Board: After choosing to retire from his international cricket career with immediate effect, England’s left-handed batter Dawid Malan said he was so grateful to have played for the country across all three formats. Malan’s decision brings an end to a career where he played 22 Tests, 30 ODIs and 62 T20Is, and amassed 4,416 runs across all formats. Malan is one of only two England men’s cricketers to have scored centuries in all three formats of the game: the other being Jos Buttler.

“It has been an incredible journey since July 2017. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to play for England in all three formats. Cricket, like most sports, is an industry where almost everyone eventually retires wishing they had done that little bit more,” said Malan in a statement issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

“Whether you’ve played 10 Tests or 100, many step away regretting not playing just one more, scoring a few more runs, or winning more trophies. Right now, as I retire from international cricket, I can say I am genuinely satisfied. It has not been easy.”   Read More...
