(UTV|COLOMBO) – Veteran India seamer Jhulan Goswami has retired from Twenty20 Internationals (T20I), only three months before the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women’s World T20 in the West Indies.
The 35-year-old right-armer is India’s top wicket-taker in Twenty20 cricket, with 56 from 68 matches.
She has twice been a losing finalist in 50-over World Cups.
Goswami is the only player in the world to take more than 200 wickets in Women’s One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and will continue to play in that format.
She has been a mainstay of India’s attack since making her debut in 2002, and captained the side in 43 of her 247 international appearances.
A statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) read, “Goswami thanked the BCCI and her team-mates for all the love and support she garnered during her stint with the T20I team and wished them luck going forward.”
