Read our privacy policy Sachin Tendulkar announced his intention to retire from international cricket following his 200th Test against the West Indies. The only player to register 100 international centuries, Tendulkar hit a record 15,921 Test runs during his career, at an average of 53.78. I look forward to playing my 200th Test Match on home soil, as I call it a day.” Tendulkar made his international debut against Pakistan in Karachi in November 1989 and made the first of his Test centuries in his ninth match against England at Old Trafford the following year. Tendulkar would narrowly fail to reach 16,000 Test runs, his career finally coming to a close in November 2013 when he was caught by Darren Sammy on 74 at his home ground in Mumbai.
