Zaheer Khan announces int’l retirement

DHAKA: With 610 international wickets, Zaheer finishes as one of India’s most successful bowlers, being the fourth-highest wicket-taker for India across formats.

He has the second-highest wickets tally (311) for an India seamer in Tests, behind Kapil Dev's 434.

Zaheer, though, played few international matches recently after being dogged by injuries. An injury he sustained to his bowling arm in May 2014 had put him out of action for a long time, although he managed to play seven games in this year’s IPL.

While his final Test was against New Zealand in Wellington early last year, his last ODI was more than three years ago, against Sri Lanka in Pallekele.

He ends his international career with 92 Tests, 200 ODIs and 17 T20Is to his name.
