Jeet Raval retires from professional cricket

Jeet Raval has called time on his professional career. He played 24 Tests for New Zealand between 2016 and 2020, and racked up more than 10,000 runs in the Plunket Shield.

Raval made his debut against Pakistan in 2016 and bowed out against Australia four years later. Two centuries and nine half-centuries came in that time at the top of the order.

At 38, his departure leaves New Zealand short on experienced openers just weeks before they host India.
