It seems like retiring from Cricket is becoming somewhat of a trend in South Africa, with a player announcing his retirement from the sport every few days. The latest to join this group is veteran all-rounder Chris Morris, who earlier on his Instagram Page announced his retirement from all forms of the game with immediate effect.
After the recent retirement of wicket-keeper and short-format opener, Quinton de Kock, this has been the second player to hang up his boots. However, Chris Morris has done it from all formats of the game, not just one.
The Announcement Of The Retirement Of Chris Morris; What A Handy Player!!
His Instagram caption said, “Today I announce my retirement from all forms of cricket! Thanks to all who have played a part in my journey whether it be big or small it has been a fun ride! Delighted to be taking up a coaching role at @titanscricket #lifebeginsnow”.
The Story So Far Of The Final Test Match Between South Africa And India
Team India scored 223 in the first innings of the third and final Test between them and South Africa. The series is currently tied at 1-1 and this can be the winner. To add to that, skipper Virat Kohli returned to form with a 79-run knock. He was the top scorer for the visiting team and this would have inspired the rest of them.
Further, the home side lost a wicket before the end of day 1’s play. Skipper Dean Elgar lost his wicket on 3, as pacer Jasprit Bumrah got his scalp. In this game, the visitors have the advantage now and there is still life in this pitch that can be exploited by both sides.
