lax219 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 [b] WTF....Dravid likely to retire on Friday ......Very Disappointing News[/b] [url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/28114.html"]Rahul Dravid[/url] is likely to announce his retirement on Friday. Dravid, 39, has called a press conference in Bangalore that will also be attended by N Srinivasan, the BCCI president. Dravid is set to be the first of India's senior-most cricketers - including Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman - to quit the game after a season of speculation surrounding their future. His decision follows a poor tour of Australia but he enjoyed a prolific run through 2011, on tours of the Caribbean and England. His decision will bring to an end a career that started in England in 1996, when Dravid made 95 in the second Test at Lord's. Since then, he has been a pillar of the Indian Test side, playing 93 consecutive Tests from debut. He will finish with 13,288 Test runs - behind only Tendulkar - in 164 matches, with 36 hundreds at an average of 52.31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
