It is difficult to say goodbye to cricket – Saurabh Tiwari
During a discussion with the media after announcing his retirement from cricket, Saurabh said, “It is certainly a bit difficult to say goodbye to such a long journey today, but I also know that this is the right time for this decision. I feel that if you cannot join the Indian team or are not in the IPL, then it is better to free up space for young boys in the state team. Right now the youth are being given ample opportunities in our state team and hence my decision is quite natural.”
