Former England fast bowler Steven Finn announces retirement from all forms of cricket

England fast bowler Steven Finn on August 14 announced his retirement from all forms of cricket following several injuries.

Due to a knee ailment that prevented him from playing in 2023, Finn has made the decision to end his illustrious 18-year career.

''Today I am retiring from all forms of cricket with immediate effect. I have been fighting a battle with my body for the last 12 months and have admitted defeat to it,'' Finn said in an official statement.

Between 2010 and 2017, the 34-year-old seamer participated in 126 matches for England, taking 254 wickets. The paceman competed for Middlesex and Sussex at the domestic level.

With a best of 6-79 against Australia at Edgbaston during the 2015 Ashes, he claimed 125 victims in 36 Tests. He also claimed 129 victims in 90 white-ball international matches.
 
Finn was a member of the England teams that won the Ashes for the first time outside of England since 1986/87 in Australia in 2010/11, at home in 2013, and in 2015.
