Dale Steyn retires from Tests, will focus on limited-overs cricket
Aug 5, 2019ESPNcricinfo staffFacebookTwitterFacebook MessengerPinterestEmailprintDale Steyn has retired from Tests with immediate effect, bringing the curtain down on one of the greatest careers in the longest format and finishing as South Africa's highest wicket-taker. The 36-year-old took 439 wickets in 93 Tests, having overtaken Shaun Pollock earlier this year. He will continue to be available for ODI and T20I selection."Today I walk away from a format of the game I love so much," Steyn said. "In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally. It's terrible to consider never playing another Test again but what's more terrifying is the thought of never playing again at all. So I will be focusing on ODIs and T20s for the rest of my career to maximise my full potential and ensure my longevity in this sport."I'd like to thank everyone in cricket, no one specific, because everyone has been a part of my journey.

India vs West Indies: ‘Nothing like natural game’ – Rishabh Pant speaks after maiden half-century
In ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni territory, Rishabh Pant found his form. In Dhoni’s territory, he made the crowd chant his name and in his territory, he finally served a reminder about his worth and pedigree. When he rocked up to the crease, India were three down - KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were back in the pavilion, the pitch was a sluggish one and West Indies were bowling on. It was here he showed restraint and took his time to suss the situation. Yes, there was the odd stroke of flamboyance, but it was all very controlled. When he got to his half-century, he looked up towards the heavens and quietly muttered a few words to himself, the dressing room was chuffed. Finally, Pant had a score to back all the talk of talent. However, he fell trying to clear the ropes and was caught in the deep, but that intent was perhaps the need of the hour and well, the execution could have been better.ALSO READ: Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope … [Read more...] about India vs West Indies: ‘Nothing like natural game’ – Rishabh Pant speaks after maiden half-century
