West Indies spinner Sunil Narine announces retirement from international cricket

West Indies spin bowler Sunil Narine announced his retirement from international cricket. “I would like to acknowledge and thank Cricket West Indies, the coaching staff, passionate West Indies fans and of course my teammates who enabled me play at the highest level, in all formats and with some memorable successes. I am also taking this opportunity to bow out of domestic 50 over cricket. I love representing Trinidad & Tobago, the country of my birth, and to add another title by winning this current Super50 Cup will be the perfect send off. Needless to say, outside of this it will continue to be business as usual for me in the franchise world for the foreseeable future,” he stated in a post on Instagram.
