Former South Africa captain Dean Elgar on Friday announced his retirement from international cricket at the conclusion of the upcoming two-Test series against India, commencing in Centurion on December 26. Elgar made his debut in 2012 and has played 84 Tests. The left-handed batter has scored 5,146 runs at 37.28 with 13 centuries and 23 fifties.
India pacer Arshdeep Singh was the finest performer with the ball in the series decider on Thursday, claiming 4 wickets to conclude an excellent series in the Rainbow Nation. However, Arshdeep wasn't the happiest man when it comes to umpires' support and the seamer even pointed out the same after the match. The left-arm pacer was asked about the reason behind his loud and excessive appeals in the match, and he had no qualms in highlighting how little support he got from the umpires on a pitch that wasn't much helpful either.
Proteas Test batting ace Dean Elgar will retire from international cricket after the upcoming two-Test series against India.
Black Caps captain Kane Williamson and star seamer Kyle Jamieson have been withdrawn for the three-match Twenty20 series against Bangladesh, New Zealand Cricket said Friday. Despite being named in the original squad, Williamson will undergo further rehabilitation after knee surgery last April, while Jamieson is nursing a hamstring injury, the Black Caps said. They will be replaced by opener Rachin Ravindra and seamer Jacob Duffy for the three Twenty20 games, starting on December 27. Mitchell Santner replaces Williamson as the Black Caps captain.
Shai Hope's unbeaten 43 led West Indies to a four wicket victory over England and secured a 3-2 T20I series win in a tense encounter. England were bowled out for 132 in the decider and while West Indies never got into their rhythm, Hope held their reply together and then won the game with a powerful six over extra-cover off the second ball of the final over. The win is the third straight T20 international series win for West Indies in 2023 as they prepare to co-host the World Cup for the shortest format in June.
Dean Elgar will retire from international cricket at the end of the two-test home series against India that starts on Tuesday, the former South Africa test captain said.

After India clinched an ODI series victory against South Africa, captain KL Rahul hailed the performance of Player of the Match Sanju Samson for his outstanding century against Proteas and said that he is pleased to see the batter perform well against Proteas even though he hasn't got a lot of chances at the top of the batting order. Sanju Samson's wonderfully paced ton and Rinku Singh's powerful cameo followed by Arshdeep Singh's blistering spell helped India clinch a three-match ODI series against South Africa, registering a 78 runs win over Proteas in the third match here at Boland Park on Thursday.
