A few days ago, Murali Vijay brought the Indian Cricket Board to a standstill. He wanted to go and play abroad without getting a chance in the country. This time he retired from international cricket. The 38-year-old Tamil Nadu opener announced his retirement by tweeting. He wrote, “Retiring from all forms of international cricket. I had a great 16 years from 2002 to 2018. I have played for India at the highest level of cricket. It’s an honor for me.”

Vijay thanked the Indian Cricket Board and the state organization for allowing him to play for India. He wrote, “Want to thank BCCI. They trusted me. Also thanks to Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, Chennai Super Kings, and Chemplast Sanmar.Vijay also thanked his teammates and Indian fans for standing by him. In a tweet, he wrote, “Thank you to my teammates, coaches, mentors, and support staff.

They played a big role in making my dreams come true. Also to the fans for being by my side through the good and bad times of my career
I am grateful to The memories of playing time will stay with me for the rest of my life.”Vijay opened his mouth a few days ago against the Indian Cricket Board. In an interview, Vijay, who played 87 matches for India across all formats, said, “My relationship with the BCCI is almost over.” Looking for an opportunity to play abroad this time. Still want to play competitive cricket.” But why did Vijay raise the board? India’s right-handed opener said, “If you are over 30 years old, can you not play for the country anymore? Everyone thinks we are 80 years old.

Even after 30 years, one can go to one’s best rhythm. We need to see who, how they are playing.” Vijay expressed his desire to play abroad as he was not getting opportunities in India. He said, “I am not getting a chance in this country. I don’t have the chance. But it is up to me to find opportunities elsewhere. That’s what I’m trying to do.”Vijay has played 61 Tests, 17 ODIs, and 9 T20Is for India. He scored 3982 runs at an average of 38.3 in Tests.

He played 106 matches in IPL and scored 2619 runs. Vijay was once considered India’s number-one Test opener overseas. Even in the tour of England in 2014 where Virat Kohli also struggled, Vijay handled England’s pacers with ease. But since the Test against Australia in Perth in 2018, Vijay did not get a chance in the Indian team. Since 2015, he has not got an event in the ODI and T20 teams. He has also become a bratya in IPL. Vijay last played in Tamil Nadu Premier League in 2019. He has not been seen on the field since then. This time he retired from international cricket.
