“After much reflection and consideration, I have decided to announce my retirement from professional cricket. This decision has not been easy, as the sport has been a significant part of my life for many years. I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from my family, friends, teammates, and fans throughout my career,” the screenshot.
