Top 12 International cricketers whose injuries ended their careers
These players' struggles with injuries wrapped up their international careers.
Craig Kieswetter played a crucial role in England’s maiden T20 World Cup title triumph in 2010. The right-handed batter scored 222 runs in seven matches, with a crucial half-century in the massive final match against Australia. In 2015, the wicket-keeper batter retired from all forms of the sport at the age of 27.
While batting in a county match against Northamptonshire in 2014, he got hit in the face as a ball went between his helmet and grill. The ball severely harmed his nose and eye socket. After healing from the injury, he went to South Africa along with the English team to participate in a two-match T20 International (T20I) series.
However, the effects of injuries persisted and made him struggle. The 2010 T20 World Cup hero said that after going through the experience of his eye injury, he wouldn’t be the player that he was. The England stalwart could play only 71 international matches during his short-lived career.
