Wasim Jaffer (42) retires from all forms of cricket

Wasim Jaffer has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

The 42-year-old bows out of the game as the highest run getter in the Ranji Trophy

Jaffer, who started his career with Mumbai in the 1996/97 season, moved to Vidarbha ahead of the 2015-16 season.

An ageless wonder, Jaffer had a strong Ranji scoring 1037 runs

Overall, Jaffer has played 260 First Class matches, scoring 19,410 runs at an average of 50.67. He has scored 57 hundreds and 91 fifties, with a highest score of 314

 Even in his last innings, in a Ranji Trophy match against Kerala in February 2020, Jaffer scored 57, his 91st FC fifty

Playing as opening batsman, Jaffer represented India in 31 Tests between 2000 and 2008, scoring 1944 runs, including five hundreds and 11 fifties.

He also has a double hundred to his name — a highest score of 212 in West Indies in 2006. He played two ODIs for India.
