Dale Steyn retires from all forms of cricket

JOHANNESBURG: Dale Steyn, the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket for South Africa, has retired from all forms of cricket. "Today I officially retire from the game I love the most. Bitter sweet but grateful," said Steyn in a note on his Twitter handle. The right-arm pace bowler, known as the greatest and best fast bowler in the past 20 years alongside James Anderson, played 93 Tests for the Proteas and picked up 439 wickets with 26 five-wicket hauls. He also played 125 ODIs and 47 T20Is taking 196 and 64 wickets in the two formats respectively. At his peak, he formed a deadly combination with Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander. "It's been 20 years of training, matches, travel, wins, losses, strapped feet, jet lag, joy, and brotherhood. There are too many memories to tell. Too many faces to thank," he added in his note.
