India paceman Zaheer retires from internationals By [/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Reuters Reuters] Published: 09:16 BST, 15 October 2015 | Updated: 09:16 BST, 15 October 2015 [ ] [ ] [ ] </a> MUMBAI, [http://footballncrickethub.mystrikingly.com/blog/zaheer-khan-family-background http://footballncrickethub.mystrikingly.com/blog/zaheer-khan-family-background] Oct 15 (Reuters) - Zaheer Khan, one of India's most successful fast bowlers, announced his retirement from international cricket on Thursday but says he will continue to play the domestic Twenty20 form of the game for one more season. The 37-year-old left-arm paceman, who was part of India's 50-overs World Cup winning team in 2011, last played for his country in a test match in New Zealand in February last year. "As I was training for the upcoming season, it dawned on me that my shoulder may not last the rigours of bowling nearly 18 overs a day, and that's when I knew it was time," Zaheer said on his official Facebook page. "With immediate effect, I bid adieu to my career in international cricket. I look forward to signing off my last season in domestic cricket at the conclusion of Indian Premier League season nine." Zaheer, who played the first of his 92 tests against Bangladesh in 2000, has been hampered by injuries in recent years. He took 311 test wickets and 282 in one-day internationals, the fourth highest totals in both formats for India. He is the second-most successful Indian seamer in tests behind Kapil Dev, who took 434 wickets. "Cricket has been my only life over the past two decades and is in fact ... the only thing I know well," Zaheer added. "Cricket has made me the individual I am, giving me everything in life and much more. "I walk away with fantastic memories, life defining experiences and great friendships." While India's pitches are traditionally tailor-made for batsmen and mostly assist spinners, Zaheer burst onto the scene with a penchant for swinging the ball both ways and a potent yorker. Over the years he also mastered the art of reverse swing, a must-have for fast bowlers in the subcontinent. He inspired India to their World Cup win four years ago, a feat he counts as his greatest cricketing moment. Zaheer took 21 wickets in the tournament, finishing joint highest wicket-taker with Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi. "The BCCI appreciates Zaheer Khan's outstanding service to Indian cricket," Shashank Manohar, the president of the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) said in a statement. "He served Indian cricket with remarkable passion and commitment. "Being a fast bowler in the Indian sub continent is challenging but he led the bowling attack with distinction and contributed significantly to the success of Indian cricket."

South African batsman JP Duminy, pictured in January 2017, has played 38 matches in the last seven seasons of the IPL South Africa's JP Duminy has withdrawn from the upcoming edition of the lucrative Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament, the all-rounder and his franchise said Monday. The 32-year-old, who plays for the Delhi Daredevils, said he was skipping the tournament next month due to "personal" reasons, [http://footballncrickethub.mystrikingly.com/blog/zaheer-khan-family-background http://footballncrickethub.mystrikingly.com/blog/zaheer-khan-family-background] with his team saying it was disappointed to lose him. "It has been a very difficult decision for me to make, but it was for purely personal reasons," the left-handed batsman was quoted as saying in a statement released by his franchise. "I certainly hope to play a part for the franchise in the near future." The statement did not specify his reason. Duminy has played 38 matches in the last seven seasons of the IPL. He joined the Delhi Daredevils in 2014 and in the last IPL tournament stood in for Zaheer Khan as captain of the side in two matches. "We respect JP's decision. We are naturally very disappointed to not have JP in our midst this year, but as a franchise we clearly understand his position," Hemant Dua, chief executive of Delhi Daredevils said. Dua said they will look for a "replacement at an appropriate time". The tenth edition of the IPL -- one of the most popular Twenty20 leagues in the world -- begins on April 5, with eight teams fighting for the title this season.
