Cape Town - Jacques Kallis on Wednesday announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket.

â€œI realised in Sri Lanka that my dream of playing in a World Cup was a bridge too far,â€ the 38-year-old said via a statement released by Cricket South Africa (CSA).

â€œI just knew on that tour that I was done. The squad that was in Sri Lanka is an amazing one and I believe they have a good chance of bringing the trophy home in March.

Losing his mother at a young age made Kallis' early years :

"not exactly perfect or like other children's, especially mine".

Kallis formed close bonds with his father and sister.

The former passed away ten years ago :

so it was up to Kallis to give the latter away at her wedding last week.

Serena	This batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.
