Sydney, Jan 21: Australian cricketer Daniel Christian, popularly known as Dan Christian, on Saturday (January 21) announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
The all-rounder - who plays for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League (BBL) - has decided to bring the curtains down to an illustrious T20 career.
Christian - whose career spanned 18 years - has been one of the most sought-after T20 freelancers in the world. The last BBL match of Sydney Sixers in the ongoing BBL will be his last game.
The 39-year-old cricketer took to his Twitter handle to announce his decision and even called his journey a 'dream' run.
Dan Christian on his retirement
His post on Saturday morning read, "Yesterday at training I told my Sydney Sixers teammates that I'll be retiring from playing at the end of the BBL season."
"Sydney Smash tonight, followed by our last round game against the Hurricanes, and then the finals.
"Hopefully we can go all the way again this season, but regardless, it's been a great run. I've achieved things and made some memories that I could only have dreamt of as a kid."
Congratulating Christian on his career, Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell tweeted, "Congrats sizzler! Unbelievable career."
