Reacting to the news, Litton said,“This decision is not shocking. Every player has the right to choose when to step away from the game. He’s a legend. I respect his decision,”
“He has contributed not just to Indian cricket but to the global game. He brought the aggressive mindset and intensity of white-ball cricket into Tests a long time ago. It’s a big loss that a player of his caliber won’t be seen in Test cricket anymore” he added.
