So he’s retiring like… because of New Zealand? Wild.
I didn’t even realize he was still the Test captain. End of series with NZ at Trent Bridge, that’s the one I guess? Kinda sad but also probably good for his health or whatever.
Wait so is this just from Tests or totally international like England won’t see him again at all? I saw something earlier that made it sound like he was gonna play T20 or County cricket still, but now it says international cricket so idk. Also Trent Bridge sounds like where I watched highlights once, so feels weird.
Breaking news and it’s already kinda confusing lol. Didn’t he have some injury drama recently? I swear I heard he was being replaced as captain like months ago, and now it’s retirement. I’m not saying he’s wrong, but England always panic and then act surprised when players leave. Refresh this page? okay I guess.
