After Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, another India player has announced his retirement from first-class cricket. Priyank Panchal, a domestic cricket veteran, has quit the game. The right-handed batsman was part of India's Test team in a few series but did not get a chance to make his debut.

An opening batsman, Priyank also captained India A. The right-handed batsman replaced Rohit Sharma for the Test series against South Africa in 2021/22 but didn't get a chance there too.

Priyank played for Gujarat in domestic cricket. The 35-year-old scored 8856 runs in 127 first-class games at an average of 45.18. His tally includes 29 centuries and 34 half-centuries.

Priyank scored 3672 runs in 97 List A matches. He played his last List A game in December 2023. Priyank scored 1522 runs in 59 T20s. He didn't play IPL. Priyank is among the domestic cricket legends who retired from the game without getting an India cap.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma recently announced their retirements from Test cricket. Rohit quit the red-ball cricket on May 7. Rohit was reportedly told by selectors that he won't be captaining the team in England.

Rohit had dropped himself from the playing XI for the fith Test match against Australia and was always doubtful for the England series. Though he had said that he wasn't retiring from the game and was still the Test team's captain.

As for Virat, he retired on May 12. The former India captain reached out to the selection committee in April. "Virat reached out early April and said he wants to finish. We've seen him give 200% to every ball that he plays, even when he is not batting or he's in the field. He probably felt that he had given everything that he had and if he can't keep up to the standards that he set for himself over the years, and how good he has been, and maybe it was time for him. It has come from him. You've got to respect that," Ajit Agarkar, India's chief selector, said recently.
