Three Bowlers who retired from Test cricket at a very young age

#1 Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga

He is that kind of a bowler who can defend 3 runs in the final over of the match by continuously bowling toe-crushing yorkers. He is the best death bowler of this era. He is none other than Lasith Malinga. Known for his unorthodox action, he made his international debut against Australia in 2004 where he made his mark by taking six wickets in the match. He cemented his spot because of the pace and the extra bounce he generated from the pitch. His 2006 season with the red ball was phenomenal with inspiring performance against the Kiwis.

This helped him emerge as the front-line pacer for the team. Besides, he was also the best bowler for Sri Lanka in ODIs and T20s in that period. Despite being the greatest Sri Lankan fast bowler ever in the limited format, Malinga has retired from Tests to maintain his fitness and to focus on limited-overs cricket. He was just 28 years of age when he bid adieu and had played in just 30 Tests taking 101 wickets during the course.
