South Africa’s Dale Steyn has announced his retirement from all forms of the game. He took to social media to share the note.
He wrote,
“And it’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell myself To hold on to these moments as they pass.
It’s been 20 years of training, matches, travel, wins, losses, strapped feet, jet lag, joy, and brotherhood.
There are too many memories to tell. Too many faces to thank. So I left it to the experts to sum up, my favorite
band, the Counting Crows.
Today I officially retire from the game I love the most. Bittersweet but grateful.
Thank you to everyone, from family to teammates, journalists to fans, it’s been an incredible journey together.”
Steyn has played close to 600 official matches and has more than 1000 wickets. He has played close to 100 IPL matches as well.
