Aussie Pacer Kane Richardson Retires From Professional Cricket

By IANS News January 27, 2026 • 11:22 AM View: 279

T20 World Cup: Australian fast bowler Kane Richardson has called time on his professional cricket career, drawing the curtain on a 17-year journey that spanned international success, domestic titles and franchise leagues around the world.

A member of Australia’s victorious 2021 T20 World Cup squad, Richardson departs the game as one of the most accomplished bowlers in Big Bash League history. Across 15 BBL seasons, he claimed 142 wickets, placing him fifth on the competition’s all-time men’s wicket-taking list.

He represented three clubs during that time, Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers, leaving a lasting imprint at each stop.
