Ian Bell announced his wish to retire from professional cricket at the end of the current season. The 38-year-old who debuted for England in 2004 played 118 Tests, 161 ODIs, and 8 T20Is. “It’s true that they tell you to know when the time is right, and unfortunately my time is right now,” he said in a statement. “While my passion and excitement for the sport that I love remain as high as ever, my body simply can not keep up with the demands of the game to the extent that I expect of myself.”
