South Africa all-rounder Chris Morris has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Tuesday, January 11. The 34-year-old has brought the curtains down on his 12-year-old long career that started in 2009 with a first-class match. Morris last played for the Titans in their game against Boland in the four-day franchise series match at the Boland Park in Paarl.
