‘I felt that I no longer had that intensity’, Faiz Fazal broke his silence after retirement
During the Ranji Trophy season, Fazal struggled with unbearable pain and eventually decided to retire. Faiz Fazal Former captain of Vidarbha Faiz Fazal (Faiz Fazal) recently announced his retirement from professional cricket. He is proud and satisfied with himself after his decision. During the Ranji Trophy season, Fazal struggled with unbearable pain and eventually decided to retire. The knee problem was too much to ignore during the season. The 38-year-old had been battling a left knee injury for over a year, which caused problems in his pre-match preparation and made his return to first-class cricket difficult. After undergoing surgeries and various treatments, Fazal realized that it was time to leave. His illustrious career ended in the final Ranji league match against Haryana. However, he scored 1 and 0 in the match. ‘Earning the India cap was the proudest moment for me and my family’ Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, he said, the decision to retire was not an easy one. During the matches this year, whenever I went to bat after lunch or tea break, I felt that I lacked the intensity which is necessary for first-class cricket. This affected my form and the selectors felt that I needed to give me a break. He said, I don’t know whether I was outdated or not, but I had to sit out. At that time I decided that whatever game I play next, I will take the call. And it so happened that that game was our final league match of the season. Reflecting on the India Cap, Fazal said, earning the India Cap was the proudest moment for me and my family. That was the biggest achievement. You can look back and say, ‘Oh, it was just one game’, but at the same time, I was the only player in the team who had not played in the IPL.
