Former India all-rounder and Saurashtra’s Ranji Trophy-winning head coach Karsan Ghavri, reckoned Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara’s decision to retire from international cricket may have come out of frustration. Ghavri, 74, also felt the 103-Test veteran deserved a farewell match.

Pujara, 37, who scored 7195 runs with 19 centuries, announced his retirement via social media on Sunday.

“It’s possible, he [Pujara] may have retired out of frustration. After representing the country for so long, if a player is not getting chances, anyone will be frustrated. Similarly, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma must have felt that frustration too before the recent England tour. The BCCI may have their own ideas, but ultimately, the player suffers. These players are not demanding crores of rupees. It’s all about honour and they all deserved that farewell Test, 110 per cent,” Ghavri told mid-day on Sunday.
