New Delhi: Indian spin great Ravichandran Ashwin on Wednesday announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League and plans to play in other global franchise tournaments.
The 38-year-old, a master off-spinner who quit international cricket in December during India's Test tour of Australia, ends as the fifth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL with 187 scalps.
He played for five IPL franchises and won the tournament with Chennai Super Kings in 2010 and 2011, where he also played in this year's edition.
"They say every ending will have a new start," Ashwin wrote on social media.
"My time as an IPL cricketer comes to a close today but my time as an explorer of the game around various leagues begins today."
