New Delhi, June 4: In a surprise development, wicketkeeper batter KS Bharat on Thursday announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 32. Bharat represented India in seven Tests and featured prominently in domestic cricket for Andhra.
“With a proud heart and sense of gratitude, I announce my retirement from international cricket. To play for my country has been the greatest honour of my life. This journey of mine has demanded great resilience and strength, but the Honour to represent India in Tests is worth every moment.
“In a family of four, we all lived the same dream over two decades, a big heart to my sister, mom, and dad for creating an environment and support system they have been. I am a product of their love, discipline, and hard work,” wrote Bharat in a note on his Instagram account on Thursday.Bharat first got an India call-up in November 2019 but made his Test debut in February 2023 after Rishabh Pant was sidelined due to recovery from his injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident.
