Praveen Kumar Retired From All Forms Of Cricket In 2018 

Praveen Kumar decided to hang up his boots from all forms of cricket last year. Kumar took this decision 13 years after he made his international debut for India. He has played 68 ODIs and 6 Test matches for India picking up 77 and 27 wickets respectively in the two formats. His 27 scalps in Tests include a five-for at the Lord's and despite being one of the best performers in the series, he never played in whites for India again.

He also made his way in the World Cup 2011 squad. However, he missed out due to an injury. He last represented India on March 30 in 2012 against South Africa.

Kumar had been one of the most impressive bowlers in the domestic circuit. He came out with flying colours in the 2005-06 Ranji Trophy where he took 41 wickets and 386 runs following which he earned his deserved international call-up in November 2007.
