Bro pasting the whole article isn’t allowed on any forum.

Not good at all for SA. Seems like CSA is still losing players who could still be of service internationally and domestically whilst also struggling to find sponsors for funding… the same sponsors who seem to have no issues with the SA20. Incompetent organisation who should be rebuilt from the bottom upwards.

He's almost 34, I really don't see it being that surprising. He almost signed a Kolpak deal in 2019 too. He's got a few years left where he can make money on the T20 circuit. He's only played 60 matches too. Probably could've been used more in T20 cricket.

I’d say he’s the best pace bowling all-rounder in SA at the moment. He earned a test match out of skipping out on the Kolpak deal along with an extended international stint back then. I’m not surprised that he’s gone and retired given the incompetency at higher levels of SA cricket. This is a loss for the national side at the very least and if he continues the trend of retired SA players not being particularly active in the domestic game it’ll be a further hit.

M Vijay retires!

I kinda assumed this was on the cards, especially after that cryptic statement from him regarding the BCCI and how they do not care about a player once he has crossed 30. Seems likely that he will ply his trade for the many flourishing T20 leagues around the world either as a player/ commentator/ coach.

He played well as a opener and was one of our standout performers on those tours.

Well Ironically it was the year 2013 BGT series was coming the choice was between him and then a 34 year Old Wasim Jaffer as opener in the squad who was piling up runs for Mumbai in that Ranji season.

The selectors opted for the former considering his age factor.

Kyle Coetzer, one of the greats of Scotland cricket. Excellent ODI record. A shame that he never got more chance to play against test nations or in more World Cups.
