LONdon: Anthony McGrath, the former England batsman and Yorkshire captain, announced his retirement yesterday after failing to win his battle against a thumb injury.
McGrath spent all 17 years of his professional career with his home county, playing in 257 first-class matches and registering 35 first-class centuries.
The 37-year-old Bradford-born right-hander represented England in four Tests and 14 one-day internationals. “It has been an honour and a privilege to have represented Yorkshire throughout my professional career,” McGrath said. AFP
