Vinod Kambli, has announced his retirement from international cricket. He will continue to make himself available for domestic selection. Kambli last played international cricket in 2000.
Kambli made the announcement at the inauguration of his sports academy, Khel Bharati, in the presence of Virender Sehwag, who inaugurated the academy, and Ramakant Acharekar, who coached Kambli and Sachin Tendulkar during their youth.
Kambli - who is Tendulkar's childhood friend - burst on to the scene with back-to-back double centuries in his third and fourth Tests, but unfortunately couldn't fulfill the promise showed then. A stop-start selectorial policy and a weakness against the short ball meant he played in only 17 Test matches, scoring 1084 runs at an average of 54.20.
He played 104 ODIs, scoring 2477 runs at an average of 32.59 and a strike rate of 71.94.
He made nine comebacks into the ODI team, but played his last Test in 1995, before he had turned 24. Since being out of the Indian team, he has tried his hand at movies and reality shows on the small screen.
