South Africa star batter Dean Elgar set to retire from international cricket after Tests against India
“As they say, ‘all good things come to an end’, and the Indian home series will be my last, as I have made the decision to retire from our beautiful game. A game that has given me so much. The Cape Town Test will be my last. My favourite stadium in the world. A place I scored my first Test run against New Zealand and hopefully my last too,” Dean Elgar was quoted as saying in a CSA release.

It has been an incredible journey that I have been fortunate enough to have,” the statement read further.
