Former India opener Virender Sehwag has announced his retirement from
international cricket and the Indian Premier League on his 37th
birthday.
Sehwag, who won the World Cup with India in 2011, played 104 Tests, 251 one-day and 19 Twenty20 internationals.
He scored 8,586 Test runs at an average of 49.34 and is the only Indian to score an international triple century.
He will continue to play first-class cricket, saying he "still has the hunger inside", and will try to help young players coming through.
Sehwag, who had a spell with Leicestershire in 2003, has not played for India since 2013.
