VVS Laxman Retirement: The two Test series between India and New Zealand starting on August 23 might be the last that VVS Laxman will play as the classy right-handed batsman is contemplating retirement.
Laxman will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. on Saturday, where he is expected to announce his retirement at the end of Hyderabad Test against New Zealand.
Laxman made his Test debut in 1996 against South Africa and since then played 134 Tests scoring 8781 runs, including 17 centuries and 56 fifties. He also played 86 ODIs scoring 2338 runs with six hundreds.
However, in his last 11 Tests, the Hyderabad batsman has scored just 635 runs and averaged 22.75 and 19.38 on the tours of England and Australia respectively.
Laxman will be third of the 'Fab Four' to retire from international cricket after Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, with just Sachin Tendulkar left in the international fold.
