England cricketer Zafar Ansari retires aged 25 to pursue law career independent.co.uk

England and Surrey all-rounder Zafar Ansari has turned his back on professional cricket, retiring from the game at just 25 years old. The left-arm spinner, who is also a stylish middle-order batsman, had recently broken onto the international scene. Ansari made three Test appearances in the winter, two of those in India after his debut in Bangladesh, and looked to be a useful spin option for England in subcontinental Asia.
