This New Zealand cricketer retires at age 68

According to reports, New Zealand cricketer Ewen Chatfield at the age of 68 retired from his cricketing career on Saturday. Chatfield, a medium pacer, last made his appearance for NZ in 1989.

The cricketer made his debut in international cricket with a Test match against England in 1975. Chatfield represented his country in 43 Tests and 114 One Day Internationals (ODIs). Chatfield in an interview reportedly said, "It might seem silly but I have standards, even at 68, and if I can't play to those standards I thought it is time to flag it."

Chatfield played his last match for a club named Naenae Old Boys and got out for a first-ball duck. After the match, he decided to end his career.
