Top 12 International cricketers whose injuries ended their careers
These players' struggles with injuries wrapped up their international careers.
2. Michael Bevan
Michael Bevan played for Australia from 1994 to 2004 and during those 10 years, he helped Australia bag a lot of ODI matches with his batting calibre. His potential to conclude matches successfully in one-day cricket made him the best match-finisher for the Australian team.
In Australia’s World Cup victories in 1999 and 2003, Bevan played a vital role with his bat. Following the 2003 title triumph, he played for Australia until February 2004. Bevan’s rib got injured during the VB Series 2003-04. The injury ruled him out of the remaining series against India and Zimbabwe.
However, he travelled to Sri Lanka in February 2004 to play a five-match ODI series. The Aussie appeared in all five matches of the series but struggled to be among the runs. In the second ODI played in Dambulla, he played an unbeaten knock of 24 off 21 but couldn’t take his team home. After playing the last ODI contest of the tour in Colombo, he never appeared for Australia again. In January 2007, he bid adieu to international cricket after struggling with injuries for almost three years.
