The Indian home series will be my last – Dean Elgar

The star batter in the longest format of the game said that the series against India will be his last in international cricket. “As they say, ‘all good things come to an end’, and the Indian home series will be my last, as I have made the decision to retire from our beautiful game. A game that has given me so much,” said Skipper Elgar, who felt that the game has given him so much.

Elgar revealed that Cape Town is his favorite stadium to play, and to end his career in the stadium would be perfect. He then remembered his Test debut against NZ at the venue. “The Cape Town Test will be my last. My favorite stadium in the world. A place I scored my first Test run against New Zealand and hopefully my last too,” concluded Elgar.
