South Africa cricketer Boeta Dippenaar on Friday announced his retirement from all forms of the game. His last appearance will be in a First Class match in the SuperSport Series clash with Warriors in Port Elizabeth.
“There’s a time and place for everything in life. I’ve had a wonderful cricket career and enjoyed my time thoroughly,” Dippenaar said.
“I feel it’s time to move on. My life is bigger than just cricket alone and other aspects in my life have started taking prominence,” he added.
The right-handed batsman wished that his last match also brings a trophy for the central franchise, Sport 24 reported.
Dippenaar will continue as a SuperSport commentator and will also be looking for some coaching assignments.
“I’ll never be able to totally break away from cricket. Cricket is a mirror-image of life – you sometimes have to endure bumps and bruises. It taught me to focus on the positives to be able to overcome setbacks,” Dippenaar added.
