England Cricket News: Retiring at Wimbledon or Olympics Would Be Fitting
A Very, Very Special Player
England cricket star Alastair Cook has hinted that he could retire from international cricket after the 2018 Ashes series or the 2020 Olympics. The 32-year-old batsman, who has scored over 12,000 runs in Tests and is England's all-time leading run-scorer, said that he would like to go out on a high and that he would not want to continue playing if he felt that he was no longer good enough.
A Legend of the Game
Cook is one of the most successful batsmen in the history of the game. He has scored 30 Test centuries, including four double centuries, and has captained England to a number of victories, including the 2010-11 Ashes series and the 2015 Cricket World Cup. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of his generation.
A Difficult Decision
Retiring from international cricket is a difficult decision for any player, but it is one that Cook will have to make sooner rather than later. He is still one of the best batsmen in the world, but he is also aware that he is not getting any younger. He will want to go out on his own terms and he will not want to continue playing if he feels that he is no longer able to perform at his best.
A Fitting End
If Cook does decide to retire after the 2018 Ashes series or the 2020 Olympics, it would be a fitting end to a remarkable career. He has been one of the most successful and consistent batsmen in the history of the game and he has helped England to achieve some of their greatest triumphs. He will be remembered as one of the greatest players of all time.
