Ravichandran Ashwin retires from all forms of international cricket with immediate effect.
India have announced that veteran spinner Ravinchandran Ashwin will retire from international cricket with immediate effect.
The news was announced just moments after the completion of the drawn third Test between Australia and India in Brisbane, with Ashwin joining skipper Rohit Sharma at the post-match press conference to reveal the shock announcement.
Ashwin most recently featured during the second Test against Australia in Adelaide and finishes his career with a total of 765 international wickets from 287 matches.
Only fellow spinner Anil Kumble has more Test wickets for India than Ashwin's haul of 537, while the 38-year-old also has the honour of having hit the winning runs in the epic run chase against Pakistan at the MCG in the 2022 edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup
