Warwickshire County Cricket Club Captain Jim Troughton has announced that he is reitring from professional cricket with immediate effect
Troughton has a back injury and has decided to announce his immediate retirement.
The Stratford born player told Edgbaston.com : “After what has been difficult 14 months dealing with back problems, I am devastated to have to concede that my playing days are over. I simply am no longer able to do myself justice and after much deliberation and consultation with the Club’s medical team, my surgeon, family and close friends, I have to accept that I can no longer train and perform to the level required to fulfil my duties as a First Class cricketer and Club Captain.
“Warwickshire has been my life and I feel privileged to have been associated with such a fantastic Club. I have been lucky to have played alongside so many amazing players and coaches, who I will regard as friends for life. Captaining Warwickshire has been the proudest achievement of my career.
“I know that I will now have to step back from, what is a very talented and motivated group of players but I wish them all the best for the rest of the season and for the future."
