JP DUMINY RETIRES FROM TEST CRICKET

-

South African internatio­nal JP Duminy announced his retirement from Test match and first-class cricket on Saturday. The 33-year-old lefthanded batsman and part-time right-arm off-spinner will continue to play in limited-overs cricket both domestical­ly and internatio­nally, he said in a statement sent by Cricket South Africa. “I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege and opportunit­y to represent my country in 46 Tests and the WSB Cape Cobras in 108 first-class matches overs the past 16 years,” said Duminy. “It is an experience that cannot be replaced and one I will always cherish.” Duminy hit six Test centuries during his career and he’s planning on adding to his four in one day internatio­nals before fully hanging up his bat. “In the years ahead, my focus will be placed on attaining limitedove­rs cricket success for South Africa and the WSB Cape Cobras, along with attending to my young family, who have been incredibly supportive and understand­ing,” he added.
