[ab5ides1]

Tendulkar has been retired from International t20 for a while now.

Lee Carseldine has announced his retirement from FC cricket. The article was not clear on whether he intends to continue with one-dayers.

Sangakarra has retired from test and odi captaincy. Not sure if he's officially retiring from them though.

Also a few South Africans have been dropped/retired:

Sangakkara's still playing those formats, just not as captain

[Blade007]

The 2 South African players was only dropped by the provincial team and will have to get a new side to play for.

Ok, thanks for confirming that. It'll be interesting to see who is chosen to replace him.

I'm quite surprised that noone has mentioned Graeme Smith, I think he's already given up T20Is & he'd already declared before the World Cup that he'd be giving up ODIs even if they win it, not sure if he'd still be playing the provincial ODs though.

If I'm not mistaken, even Daniel Vettori has also given up ODIs along with T20Is.

Tendulkar mightn't play another T20I but frankly, I'm yet to see him actually say that he has retired from T20Is so I'm not sure which way it should be.

[Chewie]

Daniel Vettori has not decided whether he will give up ODIs yet.

[enigma]

You're right, I just looked it up & he seems ambivalent & has said that he'll make his decision by the time NZ play their next ODI, which is several months away.

[Cymro]

Ben Edmondson has announced his retirement.
David Hemp I think has retired

Hemp is still playing for Bermuda.

Well, we can decide a bit nearer the time.

Thanks for all the input guys. Really appreciated.

My impression of Carseldine link is that he is only playing T20. With the Franchise system they have next year, which is going to be interesting...

I was under the impression he was retiring from ODIs as well not just giving up the captaincy.

"The result means Smith ends his captaincy of the one-day team without adding the ICC silverware South Africa craves. He will retire from limited-overs internationals altogether"

Ooh, one I mentioned but isn't in the 10.2 patch, Corey Collymore (now Middlesex) is retired from FC

Seriously? What will he play now? Don't you mean limited overs cricket?

[morgieb]

Also, Wright's pulled the plug on Australian FC cricket, but he's got a short term deal for Worcestershire. Maybe automatically make him retire at the end of a season?
