Confirmed Sean has retired from T20i.

In a lot of ways Sean always looked to have the game to be even better at T20 than ODI but somehow never quite mastered the format properly - not sure why.

Still 1691 runs at 23.48/126.38SR is a bigger contribution than almost anyone else so what a servant he has been.

It does feel like the right time to move on from this format. We will need him hugely in the half dozen or so Tests we are scheduled to play in the next year.



……of course it’s Sean so he might change his mind again tomorrow

I get the feeling this is from all international cricket...

Is he the last player, from any team, from the first ever World T20 in 2007 to retire from T20I? I don’t think there is anyone else left. Maybe one or two of the Bangladeshi pensioners are still going but that’s about it.

T20’s only I am hearing.

Considering the Raza instagram story he will be available for test and odi formats.

Wait...Sean has retired?
I misread that completely. Thought it was Craig.
Really surprised and disappointed. He's a great player.

Shakib made his T20 debut in the same game as Williams back in 2006.
