former vidarbha captain faiz fazal retires from professional cricket

Former Indian cricketer Faiz Fazal, who was an illustrious name for the Vidarbha Ranji Trophy side, has hung up his boots from professional cricket. He retires as the leading run-getter of Vidarbha in first class as well as List-A cricket, and is the only one with over 100 red-ball matches for them. Indian pacer Umesh Yadav was his teammate as well.

In the 2015-16 Deodhar Trophy, Fazal scored a 112-ball 100 for India in the final against India B. An avid chaser, he scored 127 for Rest of India in their successful run-chase of 480 against Mumbai in the 2015-16 Irani Cup.

In May 2016, Fazal was selected in India’s team for their tour of Zimbabwe in June for three ODIs and as many T20Is.

“Tomorrow marks the end of an era as I step onto the Nagpur ground for the last time, where my journey in first-class cricket began 21 incredible years ago. It’s been an unforgettable ride, filled with cherished memories that I’ll hold dear forever,” Fazal wrote on Instagram.

“Representing both the Indian Cricket Team and Vidarbha has been the greatest honor of my life, and donning those cricket jerseys has always filled me with immense pride. Farewell to my beloved Number 24 jersey – you’ll be deeply missed,” Fazal added.

The former Indian cricketer played 137 first-class games, 113 List A matches and made 66 T20 appearances. Fazal led Vidarbha in 53 first-class matches, 36 times in List-A games and in 27 T20s.
