Denesh Ramdin, the former leader of the West Indies and wicketkeeper-batter, has declared his retirement from international cricket. He will still play for a franchise, though.
With 74 Tests, 139 ODIs, and 71 T20Is under his belt, Ramdin has amassed four Test hundreds and two ODI hundreds. Before Jason Holder took over as team leader in 2015, he previously led Windies in all formats.
“It is with great pleasure that I announce my retirement from international cricket,” Ramdin wrote on Instagram. “The past 14 years have been a dream come true. I fulfilled my childhood dreams by playing cricket for Trinidad and Tobago and the West Indies. My career afforded me the opportunity to see the world, make friends from different cultures and still be able to appreciate where I came from.
“Even though I am announcing my retirement from international cricket, I am not retiring from professional cricket. I will still be playing franchise cricket around the world…” Ramdin added.
Ramdin last played an international match in December 2019, it being a T20I against India in Hyderabad.
