Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has decided to call time on his career.
The 41-year-old is one of his country's most successful off-spin bowlers after a star-studded career in which he played 103 Tests, 236 one-day internationals and 28 T20 internationals.
Singh took 417 Test wickets - placing him 14th on the all-time list - and enjoyed a successful white-ball career around the world in both international and domestic cricket.
He made his international debut in a Test against Australia in 1998 and, following his last India appearance back in 2016, has continued to play in the Indian Premier League - most recently for the Kolkata Knight Riders earlier this year.
As Harbhajan Singh bids adieu to all forms of cricket, we wish him the very best. š®š³š
