Shane Watson declares retriment from all forms of cricket: Reports | Shane Watson reportedly tells teammates that he will be retiring

After the last match of IPL 2020, Chennai Super Kings’s opener Shane Watson reportedly declared that he will be retiring from all forms of cricket. According to the Times of India report, last night after a convincing win Watson declared to his teammates that he would be retiring from all formats of the game.

The former Aussie player had already taken retirement from International matches before he was roped in by CSK in 2018 mega auction. His entry in CSK was celebrated with much aplomb as he had smashed one century in the finale helping the team lift their 3rd trophy.

“Watson was very emotional when he told the CSK dressing room after the last game that he would retire. He said that it was a great privilege for him to play for the franchise,” a source told TOI. The report also speculates that Watson might be added to the CSK support staff as the team looks to rebuild for the 2021 season. “He has always done very well against us, and Dhoni knows how important a player he could be if he is used properly at the top of the order,” a CSK official had said.

Watson had been enjoying his game on the pitch in this season. After a few misses, he had smashed two half-centuries this year. Before the start of the tournament, he even tweeted about how excited he was to return to back to the Yellow army.

“How exciting it was to be back with all of my mates for our first training session!!! It was so much fun. There was a little rust that won’t take long to go”, he said in one of his tweets.
