Dale Steyn brings curtain down on his illustrious career!
Dale Steyn, a South African pace bowler, resigned his position from all forms of cricket on Tuesday. The 38-year-old took to social media to call time on a 17-year career that included 93 Tests, 125 ODIs, and 47 T20Is for the SA cricket Team. Steyn has already announced his retirement from Test cricket in august 2019 in order to extend his legacy after a series of ailments.
“And it's been a long December, and there's reason to expect this year will be greater than the best one. In his statement, Steyn stated, "I can't recall how many times I tried to tell myself to grasp on to these memories as they disappear. Training, games, travel, victories, defeats, strapped feet, jetlag, joy, and fraternity have all occurred in the last 20 years. There are far too many to recount.
There are far too many people to thank. So I delegated the task of summarising my favorite band, the Counting Crows, to the professionals. Today is my last day as a player in the game I adore. Sweet and bitter, but appreciative. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this great adventure, from families to colleagues, media to supporters." The whole cricket fraternity thanked Steyn and wished him the very best for his future life without the game!
