BORN October 17, 1970, Bangalore ODI DEBUT Vs Sri Lanka at Sharjah, April 25, 1990 LAST ODI Vs Bermuda at Port of Spain, March 19, 2007 ODIs 271 Balls: 14496 Runs 10412 Wickets 337 Best 6-12 Average 30.89 Economy 4.30 Strike rate 43.01 4 wickets / match 8 5 wickets / match VETERAN INDIAN leg-spinner Anil Kumble is expected to for- mally announce his retirement from one-day cricket after the team returns from the Caribbean. According to reports, Kumble has already taken his colleagues into confidence before the team left Port of Spain for India and the Karnataka State Cricket As- sociation would arrange for a formal announcement in the next few days. The 36-year-old, who is India's highest Test wicket-taker, had made clear his intention of quit- ting from the limited-overs ver- sion before the World Cup. During his long career of 113 Tests and 271 One-Day Interna- tionals, Kumble has won many matches for India, claiming 547 Test wickets and 337 in ODIs. But Kumble, in his fourth and last World Cup, was played in just one of the three games, that too against minnows Bermuda. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was part of the squad in more important matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, both of which India lost. Kumble will also be remem- bered for becoming the second bowler, after Englishman Jim Laker, to have claimed all 10 wickets of an innings during a 1999 Test match against Pakistan in Delhi. Kumble played just couple of games in the last World Cup in South Africa in 2003 and only one match this time in the Caribbean. In the gathering, Kumble made a formal speech. He thanked everyone for their co-op- eration and support over the years. He did become emotional as he made the announcement but still firmly kept in check his emotions. "He had the presence of mind to thank all fielders and wicket- keepers who helped him have such an enormous success on a cricket field. Jokingly, he even expressed his gratitude who had joined in in those loud appeals," said a member of the team. Most members of the team were thankful that at least Kum- ble hadn't declared his retire- ment from Test cricket. India has a cramped schedule of inter- national matches for the next one year and team feels that Kumble's experience would be of enormous help in tours to Eng- land and Australia, later this year.
