Tendulkar retires from ODIs
NEW DELHI: India's record-breaking batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday announced his retirement from one-day cricket, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said.

Tendulkar, 39, spoke to BCCI president N. Srinivasan and "conveyed his decision to retire from the one-day format of the game", the board said in a statement.

The Mumbai batsman is the world's top run-getter in one-day cricket, with 18,426 runs from 463 matches at an average of 44.83 with 49 centuries. (AFP)
