Craig Kieswetter was an English Player who used to open for the England team in One Day and T20 Internationals. He got a chance to represent his country in 46 One Day and 25 T20 Internationals.

This promising youngster had to forcefully retire from International Cricket owing to an eye injury that he sustained from a bouncer by David Willey while he was playing for his domestic side Somerset. He described that his vision in his right eye was only 80 to 85 percent and thus it was difficult for him to play in floodlit conditions.
