Former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and England left-arm speedster Harry Gurney has decided to retire from cricket.
According to the report Harry decided to retire from cricket due to a shoulder injury. In 2019, he was part of KKR and had picked up seven wickets in eight matches. His best figures of two for 25 came against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has also played 10 ODIs and two T20 Internationals for England in 2014.
While announcing his retirement Harry quoted in social media- “The time has arrived for me to hang up my boots. After trying to recover from the recent injury to my shoulder I am truly disappointed to have to end my playing career as a result of it.”
He further added “From the first time I picked up a cricket ball at the age of ten, I was completely obsessed. Cricket has been my life for 24 years and has taken me on an incredible journey that I will cherish forever. Playing for England, IPL and winning eight trophies at home and abroad including the blast, big bash and CPL has exceeded my wildest dreams.”
Reacting to Gurney’s announcement, KKR tweeted: “We wish @harrygurney a successful retirement life, and would like to thank him for all the happy memories — especially the one vs RR where a dramatic sandstorm turned into a magical #IPL debut in Jaipur 2019.”
