Yuzvendra Chahal has announced his retirement from first-class cricket after playing his last game at Lord’s Cricket Ground. Chahal, who represented Northamptonshire in the 206-27 county season, played his last game against Middlesex at the Home of Cricket. He scalped two wickets in the fixture. “The first cricket ball I ever held was a red ball. I was 10 years old, and I had no idea then how deeply I would fall in love with this game. For me, red-ball cricket was never just another format. It was where I learned the meaning of patience, character, resilience and the pure joy of being out there for hours, fighting for every run and every wicket,” Chahal wrote in his retirement post on Instagram.
