Retirement is one of the hysterical moments in any sport. It means that a player&#8217;s time in a team is up and he/she is ready to pass the torch to the next generation of players. A player leaves his legacy behind for the next in line to carry it forward and make it big. The void that is left by a certain player is sometimes filled by a player who is even more credible but certain times, the vacuum left by a group of players is quite hard to fill and the team which was once invincible ends up struggling.

It is a cycle which every team goes through and it comes at some point or the other. For instance, the Windies, in their glory days were unbeatable. Since the retirement of their champion players during the 1990s, they have struggled to find their replacements. Australia, since the late 1990s had built a team that dominated for a decade, however, they also have strained in recent times to maintain the standards of competitive cricket.

We look at some of the cricketers who announced their retirement in a sudden manner in recent times.

Christopher Carter, the wicket-keeper batsman from Hong Kong announced his retirement from international cricket at a meagre age of 21. He took the step in order to chase his ambition of becoming a pilot. Carter made 11 and 10 appearances in ODIs and T20Is respectively, having made his debut in 2015.

Carter was also part of the 2018 Asia Cup squad in the UAE where Hong Kong failed to win a single match but put up an impressive display of cricket. In spite of it, his reason for retirement was limited opportunities and lack of funding for the reason that <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/icc-suspends-three-hong-kong-players-for-breaching-anti-corruption-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hong Kong</a> cricket has been short of support from their own government as well as the ICC.

“The likes of Mark Wright (Director of cricket) and Simon Cook (Head coach) do their very best, however, they lack the requisite support from our government and ICC. People within Cricket Hong Kong work so hard to try to allow us to play cricket full time,” he said.

Morne Morkel was probably the most underrated bowler that South Africa have produced. What made Morkel so effective was his height with the help of which he could generate a steep bounce.

His career was marred with a lot of injuries, despite which, he went on to play 86 tests, taking 309 wickets at an average of just below 28. Morne Morkel was given a call to the Test team on the back of his six-wicket haul for the Titans as well as scoring a century and a half-century for them.

In a span of a few years, Morne had cemented himself as a mainstay of the bowling attack and the Proteas had brought together a bowling line-up of the most superior quality involving Morkel, Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander, and Kagiso Rabada.

Morkel abruptly announced his intention to retire from international cricket after the home series against Australia in March 2018. He stated the reason to retire was to spend more time with his family. He stands fourth among the highest wicket-takers for South Africa behind Shaun Pollock, Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, and Allan Donald.

The Windies all-rounder announced his retirement on October 25, 2018. Having played his last international match in 2016 and his last one-day international in 2014, Bravo retired from Test cricket in 2015. He became a household name in all of the T20 leagues in the world and is very well known for his aggressive batting in the death overs and the clever but deadly variations, curbing the flow of runs.

In IPL 2013, playing for Chennai Super Kings, he won the Purple Cap for bagging 32 wickets at an impressive average of just above 9. In the process, he also overtook Albie Morkel as the leading wicket-taker for Chennai Super Kings.

Bravo was one of the few cricketers who was in continuous dispute with their cricket board because of which they were deprived of an extended run in international cricket. His last international match was the final of the ICC World T20 in 2016 which was won by the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-t20i-squad-for-windies-series-and-australia-tour-set-to-be-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Windies</a> and Bravo being an integral part of the squad.

(Photo by Michael Dodge/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Alastair Cook was arguably one of the most stylish Test batsmen for England. He was one of the few players to score a century in his first and the final test of their respective careers. He is the highest run-getter for England in Test cricket with 12,472 runs. While his captaincy in limited-overs cricket was below par, his notable series victory came in India in 2012, where the English side scored their first Test series win on Indian soil since the 1984-85 tour.

In May 2015, Cook passed Graham Gooch to become the leading run-scorer for England in Test cricket. His batting had hit a rough with him not scoring even a half-century in ten innings until the fourth test of the Ashes 2017-18. Cook broke the drought by scoring 244.

His batting still had been under fire with another Ashes series loss and the series defeat in New Zealand. Cook eventually announced that the fifth match at The Oval against India would be his final. He ended his career with a patient fifty followed by a flamboyant century in the second innings.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ab-de-villiers-extremely-excited-to-make-a-comeback-on-the-field/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB de Villiers</a> was a good wicket-keeper apart from being a remarkable fielder but, for the most part of his career, he played solely as a batsman. He currently holds the record for the fastest fifty, fastest hundred, fastest 150, fastest test century by a South African and the fastest Twenty20 international fifty by a South African.

One thing which has eluded de Villiers is winning a World Cup. The 2015 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand was one of the heartbreaking moments for South Africa as New Zealand clinched the thriller when Grant Elliott hit the second last ball for a six.

The South Africans, including Morne Morkel and de Villiers, burst out crying on the field as South Africa choked in yet another knockout game. On 23rd May 2018, De Villiers announced his retirement from international cricket which came as a shock to the cricketing world as the fans expected him to retire after the 2019 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/nasser-hussain-feels-one-big-loss-wont-affect-englands-world-cup-plans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a>.

He tweeted “I&#8217;ve had my turn, and to be honest, I&#8217;m tired”. De Villiers called it quits, having played 114 tests and 228 ODIs with an average of above 50 in both the formats.

5 cricketers who announced a sudden retirement

Retirement in a sport is one of the hysterical moment. It means that a player's time in a team is up and is ready to pass the torch to the next generation
