Mitali Raj announces retirement from international cricket
New Delhi(PTI): Mithali Raj, one of the greatest female cricketers to have played the game, on Wednesday announced retirement from all forms of international cricket after a two-decade long illustrious career.
Mithali ended her glorious career with a record 7805 runs in 232 ODIs. She also represented India in 12 Tests and 89 T20 Internationals.
The 39-year-old had already retired from the T20 format and her decision to stop playing all formats was expected after India's ODI World Cup campaign ended in March.
"I set out as a little girl on the journey to wear the India blues as representing your country is the highest honour. The journey was full of highs and some lows. Each event taught me something unique and the last 23 years have been the most fulfilling, challenging & enjoyable years of my life," Mithali wrote on social media, announcing her retirement.
"Like all journeys, this one too must come to an end. Today is the day I retire from all forms of International Cricket.
Thank you for all your love & support over the years!

Two outsourced staff booked over file irregularities at Udupi Sub-Registrar’s Office
Udupi: A case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station against two outsourced staff members of the Senior Sub-Registrar’s Office in Udupi for alleged irregularities in handling official files.
According to Deccan Herald, the complaint was filed by V.S. Halamoorthi Rao, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Lokayukta, Udupi, following a surprise inspection conducted on February 27 by the Upa Lokayukta at the Taluk Office complex in Bannanje.
During the inspection of the Senior Sub-Registrar’s office, it was found that Sukesh, an outsourced staff member, had kept eight files related to property and marriage registrations in his personal bag. Another outsourced worker, Sunil, was found in possession of 35 such files in his personal bag.
In total, 43 files reportedly received from the public had not been entered in the official inward register and were kept in their personal custody without authorisation.
The complaint alleges that the two staff members committed criminal misconduct, misused legal provisions, and behaved like government officials while dealing with members of the public visiting the office.
The complaint further stated that despite these alleged acts, the Sub-Registrar, Girish, failed to take note of the irregularities, and prima facie it appears that the actions of the outsourced staff may have been carried out with his support.
Based on the complaint, a case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station under Sections 316(4), 337, 340, 344, and 204 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
