Allahabad, July 13 (IBNS): Indian right-handed batsman Mohammad Kaif announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Friday.

Kaif took to Twitter to announce his retirement.

His tweet reads, "When I started playing Cricket,the dream was to play in the India Cap one day.Have been very fortunate to step on to the field & represent my country on 190 days of my life. Today is an apt day for me to announce my retirement from all competetive Cricket. Thank you everyone"

Kaif made his Test debut against South Africa in 2000.

He had played 13 Tests, 125 ODIs matches for India.

He was considered to be one of the brilliant fielders of the Indian side.

Kaif, who was one of the key players in the Indian middle order batting for a long time, scripted the 2002 Natwest Series win in England exactly 16 years ago.

However, in the later half of his career, Kaif found difficulty to find a place in the national squad.
