Veteran Zimbabwe all-rounder Elton Chigumbura has announced his retirement from international cricket. Chigumbura will end his career with the national side following the completion of the ongoing three-match T20I series against Pakistan.
Chigumbura has featured in 14 Tests, 213 ODIs, and 55 T20Is till now. The 34-year-old has amassed 5,782 international runs and 138 wickets to his name, including two hundreds and 26 half-centuries. He also led Zimbabwe on 80 occasions on the international stage - in 62 ODIs and 18 T20Is.
The all-rounder confirmed his decision in a statement by Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) on Saturday. According to ZC, the all-rounder is retiring because "injuries had continued to take a toll on him as well as to pave the way for young blood in the national side", said a report on ICC's official website.
