Mohd Kaif calls it a day

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 13: Mohammad Kaif announced his retirement from all forms of competitive cricket today, almost 12 years after he last played for the Indian team in which he stood out as much for his acrobatic fielding as for his effective lower-order batting.

The 37-year-old Kaif played 13 Tests and 125 ODIs for India and will always be remembered for his match-winning knock of 87 at the Lord�s during the epic Natwest Trophy final in 2002.

�I�m writing to you today to announce my retirement from all forms of first-class cricket,� Kaif intimated acting president CK Khanna and acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary in an email.

He was a part of the Indian team that reached the World Cup final in South Africa. Along with Yuvraj Singh, Kaif was among the stars to emerge from the U-19 India stable after leading the Colts to a maiden Junior World Cup triumph in 2000. � PTI
