All-rounder Stuart Binny retired from all forms of cricket, bringing the curtain down on a career spanning almost 18 years, The 37-year-old, who made his debut for Karnataka in 2003, featured in 23 matches for India — six Tests, 14 ODIs and three T20Is.
Son of 1983 World Cup hero Roger Binny, Stuart played most of his domestic cricket for his home state before moving to Nagaland for two seasons. He was also part of the now defunct ICL.
A medium-pacer who used swing as his main weapon, Binny was an integral part of the golden era of Karnataka cricket. He played an influential role in Karnataka’s 2013-14 Ranji Trophy title triumph, supplementing 443 runs with 14 wickets. His ultimate moment in the sun came against Bangladesh when he returned 6 for 4 in the second ODI in Mirpur in June 2014, the best figures by an Indian in the 50-over format.
“My decision (to retire) was influenced by the way things have panned out over the last year-and-a-half,” Binny told TOI. “You must continuously play some form of cricket through the year to go out and perform.”
Binny is eyeing a career in coaching and a specific part of the country is on his radar. “I’ve spent the last two years in the Northeast trying to understand the system,” he explained. “There is a lot of talent but no exposure.”
