New Delhi: All-rounder Parvez Rasool has decided to end his playing career and has duly informed it to the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

The first cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to represent the national team, he bids goodbye to cricket after achieving a rare double of 5000-plus first-class runs and 350-plus wickets.

“Yes, I’ve retired from cricket. Obviously, playing for India was the proudest moment of my life,” the 36-year-old told TOI .

“Coming from J&K, which wasn’t known much for cricket, I went on to win the Lala Amarnath Trophy for the best all-rounder in the Ranji Trophy on two occasions (in 2013-14 and 2017-18), and became the first from my region to play for India and in the IPL. I feel nice to have contributed to the game.”
