India’s off-spinning great Ravichandran Ashwin announced his immediate retirement from international cricket following the third test against Australia in Brisbane on Wednesday.

The 38-year-old took 537 wickets in his 106 tests at an average of 24.00, leaving him seventh on the all-time list and second only to Anil Kumble (619) for his country.

He also played 116 one-day and 65 Twenty20 internationals.

“This will be my last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at an international level,” he said at the post-match press conference alongside skipper Rohit Sharma.

“I feel there’s a little bit of punch left in me as a cricketer, but I’d like to express that, showcase that, in club-level cricket.”
