Veteran South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday (10/07/2012) after undergoing eye surgery following a severe injury this week.
Boucher suffered a cut to his left eyeball after being struck by a bail during his country’s tour match against English county side Somerset in Taunton on Monday.
"It is with sadness, and in some pain, that I make this announcement. Due to the severity of my eye injury, I will not be able to play international cricket again,” Boucher said in a statement posted on Cricket South Africa’s website.
"I had never anticipated announcing my retirement now, but circumstances have dictated differently.” - Reuters
